About this good practice
Local Development Agents identify both driving and mentoring companies and start-up companies in their municipality and propose them to INFO to join the program.
INFO, Instituto de Fomento de la Región de Murcia is the Regional Development Agency of Murcia. Its main objective is to implement support policies for the companies in the Region of Murcia. Its main activities are the external promotion of regional companies, promotion of innovation, growth policies, business consolidation and support for entrepreneurship.
Tractor companies are companies that have optimally applied strategic measures in foreign markets, in the development of new technologies, in digital marketing and communication, in financial measures, in environmental measures and in corporate social responsibility. These companies have obtained measurable results and are willing to help small companies by exerting an impulse or traction on them through contracts, purchase of products or services, intermediation with suppliers or clients, and with specific actions
Mentor companies are those willing to dedicate time and personnel to train small businesses in the areas that are needed.
A map and timetable of objectives and activities are drawn up which consist of training, networking, business advice, advice for R&D&I aid, advice for internationalisation aid, INFO's own aid line for private investors to enter the capital of seed companies, support for attendance at trade fairs and awards.
