EXTRA-SMEs PROJECT<\/strong><\/p>\n

Improving policies to boost SME competitiveness and extraversion in EU coastal and rural areas where aquaculture is a driver of the regional economy<\/strong><\/p>\n

Partnership<\/strong>:<\/p>\n

The project leader is the Region of Peloponnese (GREECE), while the partners include Liguria Region (ITALY), Northern Chamber of Commerce in Szczecin (POLAND), Bucharest-Ilfov Regional Development Agency (ROMANIA), Lapland University of Applied Sciences (FINLAND), University of Patras (GREECE), Western Development Commission (IRELAND), Ligurian Marine Technologies District (ITALY), and Public Institution National Regions Development Agency (LITHUANIA).<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Goals:<\/strong><\/p>\n

IMPROVING THE COMPETITIVENESS OF SMEs IN REGIONS WITH AN AQUACULTURE BUSINESS ECOSYSTEM<\/p>\n

Over 90% of businesses in EXTRA-SMEs regions are inland and coastal SMEs operating throughout and around the aquaculture value chain, contributing to growth and job creation. Along the chain, these economic operators face systematic shortcomings in reaching international markets and exporting their products. To this end, EXTRA-SMEs will support public authorities in joining forces and exchanging experiences in a) administrative simplification, b) expansion into new markets, c) innovative value-added solutions, d) advanced training for staff, and e) resolution of stakeholder conflicts of interest.<\/p>\n
