Co-financed by the Italian Government’s contribution to the CEI Know-how Exchange Programme (KEP) through the CEI Trust Fund at the EBRD and by the Autonomous Region Friuli Venezia Giulia (Italy), the Project Financial Facilities for SMEs: Training and Capacity Building for Business Support Organisations in the non-EU Member States of the Central European Initiative is implemented by Informest.
The assignment aims to train staff members of selected business intermediary organisations geographically focusing on CEI non-EU Member States: Albania, Belarus, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Croatia, Macedonia, Moldova, Montenegro, Serbia and Ukraine. Throughout the project implementation, the selected business support organisations are expected to be involved in initiatives and actions, aimed to specialise and boost their know-how in helping SMEs. In particular, the project aims at enhancing the knowledge and skills of business support organisations regarding financial instruments made available by international financial institutions dedicated to SMEs. The website of the project has been launched at the beginning of February: www.fit4smes.net It is a valuable tool for stakeholders of the project and potential participants. Visitors can easily obtain relevant information about the activities of this assignment and regular updates on related news.
