Project

Objectives

The EBSOMED project aims to improve the management capacity performance and competitiveness of Mediterranean Business Support Organisations (BSOs) through enhanced services in compliance with quality standards. Also, it empowers the Mediterranean private sector stakeholders by developing business linkages and networks between Southern Neighbourhood BSOs and EU counterparts

The project will stimulate trade and investment flows by supporting the internationalisation of Mediterranean SMEs, increase the Economic Regional Integration and boosting the Mediterranean business community by creating a sustainable hub for developing business partnerships and coordinating strategies in key sectors of common interest in the EuroMed region.
