For further information on any of the projects listed in this archive please contact the Authority

The Project Rethinking Entrepreneurship is a project funded under the Atlantic Area INETRREG IVB Programme 2007 -2013.

The Rethinking Entrepreneurship (RethE) project targets the achievement of two distinct objectives:

  1. To create in the Atlantic Area a network of organizations involved in promoting entrepreneurship which will contribute to lowering the existing differential with other more dynamic parts of the EU.
  2. To adopt a new model of entrepreneurship with which it will be possible to provide new support services and tools for entrepreneurs and start-ups.

The project fosters the development of the entrepreneurial spirit, a priority objective set out in the Lisbon Strategy.

The project which commenced activity in February 2009 will continue for a period of thirty months.

The South West Regional Authority is one of six transnational partners involved in RethE from five Atlantic Area countries – Spain, Portugal, Brittany, UK and Ireland.
