GOALS:
SEQUEL is an acronym for "Sustainable Enterprises with Qualified Enterpreneurs." Europe has been dealing with the effects of the worst economic crises since 2008. As a result of this crisis, there are more than 25 million unemployed for the first time in Europe. EU expects that entrepreneurship can be an important way out of the economic crisis, according to the 2020 strategy. But Europe also has another problem that requires a change in priorities Europeans. For 45% of Europeans, being self-employed was their first choice in 2010, now it has dropped to 37%. The "Quality life index" has indicated that the top 20 countries are also the most entrepreneurial countries. This fact proves that entrepreneurship plays an important role to overcome these economic crises.
