Descrizione del progetto
Grandi novità per le imprese più piccole di Cipro
In quanto colonne portanti dell’economia europea, le PMI rappresentano il 99 % di tutte le imprese dell’UE. Cipro, a pieno titolo Stato membro dell’UE, conta più di 50 000 PMI, che svolgono un ruolo importante nella crescita e nello sviluppo della sua economia. In questo contesto, il progetto KAM2CY4, finanziato dall’UE, supporterà le PMI di Cipro per potenziare la loro competitività, crescita intelligente e profitti. Questi servizi di supporto saranno forniti dalla locale Fondazione di promozione della ricerca, coordinatrice della rete Enterprise Europe di Cipro (EEN Cy) e saranno integrati dai servizi di EEN-Cy. Nello specifico, il progetto identificherà i punti deboli della capacità di innovazione delle PMI e le esigenze di coaching. Condurrà inoltre valutazioni diagnostiche della gestione dell’innovazione delle PMI e svilupperà un piano d’azione.
