The programme can be of benefit to entrepreneurs who are already established and are interested in hosting another entrepreneur in their field, an established enterprise wanting to broaden its line of business by gaining first hand experience in a foreign company in its same line, and a new entrepreneur seeking experience by being hosted in an enterprise in his line of interest.
