    The project was implemented in the context of the European-wide development of the innovative entrepreneurship ecosystem. Partners include 5 technoparks (mersin technopark, tartu, madan, espaitec, step c) and an entrepreneurship school (IStec brussels)All partners carry out studies to develop the entrepreneurship ecosystem on a national and transnational scale. Entrepreneurs' motivations for the development of mentoring, which is one of the greatest needs in overcoming the difficulties in realizing their ideas, ensured the establishment of this partnership and the emergence and successful execution of the project.The project generally aims to train qualified mentors for young technology entrepreneurs. Achieving this general goal has been possible with the realization of 3 chained goals. These:1. Training experienced business people who have successfully completed their entrepreneurship processes on how to mentor young technology entrepreneurs and bringing new mentors to the ecosystem2. Providing mentoring activities by matching young technology entrepreneurs with mentors3. Raising awareness about mentoringThe project has 3 main groups of participantsTrainer mentors: This group consists of experienced mentors and provided training to mentor candidates.Mentor Candidates: It consists of experienced business people who have been in the industry for at least 5 years, with or without mentoring experience, and who are motivated to mentor.Young Tech Entrepreneurs (Start-Ups): The participants in this group are young entrepreneurs who have just started their business life and need mentor support in various fields (hard or softskills).The definition of young here refers to the entrepreneur's experience in realizing the business idea, not his age.In addition to these main participant profiles, different institutions that are actors of the entrepreneurship ecosystem have been included in the project activities. These:universitiesNGOsInstitutions like Chambers.The project team implemented the activities determined in the proposal in order to achieve the objectives determined in the proposal period, by making improvements when necessary in response to the changes that took place during the project.Accordingly, the general activities of the project are as follows:Conducting needs analysis and reporting to identify the needs of mentors and entrepreneurs regarding the mentoring processesConducting a comparative study of mentoring processes across EuropeOrganizing national Workshops in every countryPreparation of Curriculum for Mentor Training TrainingRealization of the Training ProgramPreparation of project reportsConducting transnational project meetings and post-COVID online project meetingsHolding the Dissemination ConferencePreparation of the e-PlatformMaking mentor-mentee pairingsWith the project, trainer mentors, mentor candidates and start-ups from all partner countries were reached, and the common problems and needs of mentors and mentees were determined.
