The challenges to make procurement processes more transparent and accessible for SME’s are reflected within the partnership, where we involve public bodies, semi-public institutions like transfer centres and have support from business actors like Chambers of Commerce. Many SME development bodies are involved and allow bridging the gap which often is there between European projects and the private sector. The wide geographical spread and competence of the partners puts a special focus on SME development and with their knowledge ensuring that Supply Chains contribute to strengthening the regional economy.
