Descripción del proyecto
Buenas noticias para las empresas más pequeñas de Chipre
Las pymes son la columna vertebral de la economía europea y representan el 99 % de todas las empresas de la Unión Europea (UE). En Chipre, Estado miembro de la UE, hay más de 50 000 pymes, que desempeñan un papel importante en el crecimiento y el desarrollo de su economía. En este contexto, el proyecto KAM2CY4, financiado con fondos europeos, brindará apoyo a las pymes chipriotas para mejorar su competitividad, crecimiento inteligente y rentabilidad. La Research Promotion Foundation, coordinadora de la Red Europea para las Empresas de Chipre (EEN Cy), estará a cargo de estos servicios de apoyo, que se integrarán con los servicios de EEN-Cy. En concreto, el proyecto identificará debilidades en la capacidad de innovación de las pymes y sus necesidades de orientación. Además, realizará evaluaciones diagnósticas de la gestión de la innovación en las pymes y desarrollará un plan de acción.
