SME experiences with insitutional communications

InnoCom is working to make institutional communications of business support opportunities better targeted, digitally accessible, interactive, equally distributed, and clearly presented, reducing bureaucratic jargon as much as possible, so that even the smallest SMEs can enjoy full access to such benefits.

These improvements will be informed by learning about the experiences of SMEs, so the partners are launching an online survey to gather this input. The questionnaire was developed by InnoCom’s Advisory partner, the University of Latvia. Project partner Carlow County Council is the first to promote the activity, which is available in English here.

The survey will be online in other partner languages soon.

Cllr. Andrea Dalton, Cathaoirleach of Carlow County Council said, “I am delighted that Carlow County Council has been accepted on this project and we look forward to working with our partners over the coming years on delivery of the objectives of InnoCom”.  Andrea continued to say, “EU funding helps county councils improve lives, promote economic development, and reduce regional disparities and the focus of this project on supporting our business community is timely considering the challenges in the business environment currently”. 

Concluding Andrea said “For us EU funding is not just about money. It is about partnership. It brings together different countries and regions to work together on common goals. I am committed to building strong partnerships with our EU neighbours”.
