Young Romanian entrepreneurs founded 3,200 new firms (SRL-D), which are eligible to get state support, in the first six months of the year. Since 2011, more than 14,000 new firms were set up by young entrepreneurs, after the Government decided to offer state aid to encourage them.

Firms set up by first-time entrepreneurs up to the age of 35 get non-refundable financing of up to EUR 10,000, as well as other benefits. Most firms were registered in Cluj county (1,925), followed by Bucharest (1,555) and Timis county (1,013).
