There are numerous opportunities for young people, wishing to engage in classical, digital or social entrepreneurial activities. StartUp incubators and accelerators flourish. Many EU funding schemes and projects in the field of launching youth entrepreneurial activities have been functioning for years. In view with the rising levels of Cyber-attacks happening nowadays, an emerging challenge for these young entrepreneurs is how to ensure Digital Security to these successful endeavours. In order to address this issue, DiFens is focused on promoting Digital Security importance to young professionals, but also on acquisition of specific knowledge and skills for management of sustainable business ventures, as well as fostering social innovations among young entrepreneurs.

The project is implemented under the framework of Erasmus+ programme of the European Commission, within Key Action 2: Cooperation for innovation and the exchange of good practices, Action: Strategic partnership for youth. Bulgaria is in partnership with 4 other partners from 4 different countries – Cyprus, Slovenia, Poland and Greece.
