Dear Sirs,

It is a pleasure for me to submit you the Call for ideas 2016 for the project Ecapital Culture – Adriatic Start-up School, which are open from July 15 to September 15, 2016.

Ecapital Culture - Adriatic Start Up School is aimed to young people from the Countries of the Adriatic-Ionian Macro Region (Albania, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Croatia, Greece, Italy, Montenegro, Serbia, Slovenia), motivated to give birth to a business aimed at enhancing the cultural heritage of the area.

The main purpose of the project is the economic development of cultural tourism in that area, throughout the creativity and the talent of young future entrepreneurs. The cultural heritage of the Adriatic Macro Region offers the opportunity to develop innovative Start-up that can attract cultural tourism of special interest and economic value.

The first edition, carried out in 2015, obtained success and international relevance, involving 25 young participants coming from the Macro Region who developed their business idea through the implementation of their own business plan.

This second edition of the project is promoted and financed by Fondazione Marche, Chamber of Commerce of Ancona, Università Politecnica delle Marche, City of Ancona and Istao and is addressed to young future entrepreneurs belonging to the different Countries of the Macro Region (a specific Call is dedicated to young people coming from Marche Region in Italy), who will have the opportunity to attend the School and to be hosted in Ancona for 2 months for free, thanks to the Scholarships offered by Promoters and Intesa Sanpaolo Bank.

Please find attached the Call for ideas Regulations 2016, both for people from Macro Region Countries and for those from Marche Region in Italy, and the Poster of the project.
