Business Mentors‘ Network

“Business Mentors’ Network” is a mentoring project initiated by Enterprise Lithuania, in which experienced entrepreneurs, specialists in various fields share their knowledge and experience with business representatives seeking to grow and improve business performance.

Mentorship is communication between experienced entrepreneurs and new entrepreneurs in order to help newcomers to obtain business management knowledge, improve personal communication skills or acquire other skills. This is a voluntary activity that is beneficial to both sides. Experience gained in successful foreign and Lithuanian projects shows that the activity is attractive and beneficial. While mentorship programmes are usually adapted for communication between students and entrepreneurs, this project aims to promote, in an attractive form, collaboration between business people and targeted exchange of experiences.

There are two different directions of the Business Mentors’ Network.
