Pilot Pips invites young business enthusiasts from Estonia, Latvia and Sweden to an entrepreneurship programme

Pilot Pips opened an international entrepreneurship programme for young people aged 18-25 from Estonia, Latvia and Sweden. The aim of the programme is to help young people develop their business ideas, acquire modern digital skills and create the basis for starting their own business.

The programme is open to young people who do not have a full-time job but wish to create their own job through entrepreneurship. Participants will have the opportunity to develop an existing business idea, learn to use AI-based tools, and create prototypes that work on their own idea.

The activities of the programme will run from November 2026 to April 2027 and participation will be free of charge for all selected candidates.

The curriculum combines entrepreneurship, artificial intelligence and personal development

A total of 16 online training sessions will take place during the programme, focusing on entrepreneurial skills, vibe coding and soft skills.

• Entrepreneurial and soft skills – practical knowledge for starting, managing and developing a business.
• Vibe coding – participants learn how to turn ideas into working digital prototypes.
• Free AI Tools Credits – financial support for the development of technological solutions.
• International network – participants can interact and collaborate with young people from Estonia, Latvia and Sweden.
• Personal mentor – each participant has an experienced entrepreneur mentor during the programme.
• Practical result – by the end of the programme, participants will have a stronger business concept, a completed prototype and a clear action plan for further development.

Up to 25 participants per country will be selected for the programme, creating an international community of nearly 75 young business enthusiasts.

Three important events on the ground

In addition to online trainings, three major meetings will take place during the programme.

• November 2026 – kick-off
  Participants will meet in their home country and get to know the programme, mentors and accomplices.
• 21-23 January 2027 - international bootcamp in Tallinn
  The programme's central event, where all Estonian, Latvian and Swedish participants gather in Tallinn for an intensive period of cooperation and learning.
• April 2027 – Demo Day and Closing
  Participants will present their ideas, celebrate the end of the programme and have the opportunity to present their development to a wider audience.

Mentoring and community throughout the programme

Throughout the programme, participants receive individual mentoring. Every young person meets once a month with a mentor assigned to them and receives practical feedback on their idea and business journey.

In addition, participants are united by a common Discord community, which allows them to share knowledge, seek advice and collaborate with other young entrepreneurs across borders.

Pilot Pips is a great opportunity for young people who want to put their business idea into practice, develop the skills they need in the future, and learn to use artificial intelligence for business and innovation.
