France Italy on the web to strengthen companies

Closed

This cooperation area includes many micro and small businesses that often do not enjoy optimal conditions to grow and consolidate their position in the outlet markets. The general objective of Fr.I.Net2 is to strengthen the micro and small businesses of this area through the joint provision of specialised services at cross-border level by establishing a cross-border centre of expertise. The achievement of this general objective will require the following logical steps: - defining the methodology to identify the key competencies to be included in the Centre and the standard level of services to be provided to companies; - experimenting with this methodology through the provision of services to a pilot group of companies belonging to the identified priority supply chains: boating and tourism; - evaluating the results of the testing phase and setting guidelines for the implementation of the cross-border centre of expertise. At the end of the project, the partners will have obtained the following main results: 1. a shared methodology to put to work a professional team at a cross-border level that will provide similar specialist services; 2. launching of the Cross-border Centre of Expertise, located where the partners are based, and definition of a catalogue of cross-border services. This project is innovative in that it allows the establishment of a cross-border pool that for the first time will be able to offer the following services in a coordinated and uniform way: - corporate strategy and positioning on foreign markets; - innovation and technology transfer; - access to community programmes and definition of partnerships. A partnership made up of economic developers with long experience in assisting businesses will ensure the ful implementation of the project.
