YoungLink Successfully Completed the CzechInvest Project “Internationalization of Startups”

The company YoungLink s.r.o. successfully implemented a project within the Internationalization Program – 2nd Call, focused on preparing expansion to the U.S. market. The project was supported by funds from the National Recovery Plan through the CzechInvest Agency. The aim of the project was to prepare the technological, legal, and business foundation for the entry of the YoungLink app into the United States—primarily completing language localization, establishing a U.S. entity, preparing pilot testing, and strengthening the team’s international competencies.
