REBORN project, has been the perfect tool to assist the partners regions (Liguria, Murcia, Wallonia, Central Hungary and Lubelskie) to strengthen policies and regional development situations by implementing plans to support "restarters" through a better use of ERDF and other complementary funds aligning efforts with a shared goal. 

Through this project, regions have increased European competitiveness and accelerated regional economic growth through the improvement of policy instruments linked to entrepreneurship and business creation support, helping SMEs in all stages of their life cycle, including measures to avoid the "lost entrepreneurship potential", supporting the capacity of SMEs to engage in growth in regional, national and international markets. 

The economic impact of financial crisis we are all experience at this time and bankruptcy of SMEs due to COVID-19 situation has become an important issue to deal with, as well as fostering an entreprenurial spirit with high tolerance to failure, and REBORN project is the perfect tool for it.
