Boosting entrepreneurship all across Europe
This entire week, we are bringing you results from our projects working on the competitiveness of SMEs.
Have a look with us at the iEER project whose ten partners work on improving their regional ecosystems for businesses.
In the interview below, you can hear about some inspiring good practices the partners shared and first policy improvements achieved in Finland.
What have they achieved?
The iEER lead partner influenced the ERDF Operational Programme in Southern Finland. The iEER Uusimaa team worked closely with the managing authority of the ERDF programme and set the support to young entrepreneurs and the development of an entrepreneurship ecosystem as a priority in 2017 call for project proposals. The projects selected during that call are implementing and continuing the work of the iEER at the regional level.
