Problem addressed

The targeted problem is the low competitiveness of micro SMEs/SMEs of the Region which derives from a number of reasons:

• Lack of access to innovation

• Low innovation transfer

• Low resource efficiency (human resources, equipment, infrastructure)

• Limited utilization of open business data

• Limited synergies

• Lack of business model flexibility

• Low interfacing of policy strategies with real business data


 

Implementation 

The networking platform creates the appropriate framework to develop tools that provide services to businesses and all involved stakeholders.

The interconnection of microSMEs/SMEs and professionals with each other and the use of innovative tools and methods (crowdsourcing, tele-education, teleconferencing, data sharing, etc.) creates dynamics in the business profile of our region, enhancing the region's competitiveness and extroversion.

Similarly, academics and research institutions participate in the overall system, ensuring technological transfer in the business world, while public administration bodies, entrepreneurial actors and productive actors shape better growth conditions for the business community.
