‘Yoanka Semi Permanent Makeup’, an SME and a client of EEN Malta Enterprise, always wanted to broaden their horizons. Following their successful and fruitful participation in the sister programme EYE, the SME reached out to Malta Enterprise for assistance through EEN Malta and expressed their wish to expand internationally. Following discussions held with Nathalie Adamson, Network Advisor within EEN Malta, a request was made to other EEN Advisors, mainly based in Poland, which supplied numerous potential matches and partners for further collaboration.

Following the Business Request through EEN, ‘Semi Permanent Makeup’ was introduced to Maderm Esthetics who liked their business goals and decided to take a step further and initiate a cooperation. They provided training of their equipment in order to support them in becoming an international trainer of the Maderm Permanent Makeup brand.

‘Yoanka Semi Permanent Makeup’ was also able to set up an official and unique online shop featuring all Maderm equipment, the first one to do so in Malta. Thanks to EEN, ‘Yoanka Semi Permanent Makeup’ was able to expand her business and fulfil her vision.

“I would like to express my sincerest satisfaction with the opportunity that the Erasmus for Young Entrepreneurs Programme and EEN has given me. During my 6-month stay in Valencia, I perfected my skills under the supervision of an experienced entrepreneur in the permanent make-up industry. Thanks to this knowledge, I will be able to provide an even more professional service to my clients. In addition, the cooperation has blossomed with new opportunities such as: conducting workshops, organizing ventures in the international area, and assisting in the development of permanent make-up in Malta. I would also like to say a huge thank you to EEN. I went to Poland to meet with the owner of the company which I was put in touch with - Maderm. I like their business goals and I decided to take it a step further and cooperate with them. They gave me training of their equipment, so I become an international trainer of Maderm Permanent Makeup brand. I am more than happy to provide training now in Malta with a high quality service. Also, from now on I do have all Maderm equipment as an online shop- first in Malta.”-  Joanna Mieczkowska
