Fostering Collaboration through mapping, analysing and interlinking of European Entrepreneurial Regions

The project aims to support the development of concrete action plans that will foster practical collaboration between the so called European Entrepreneurial Regions to help entrepreneurs scale across the single market. This project is an initiative of the European Commission's Directorate-General for Internal Market, Industry, Entrepreneurship and SMEs (DG Grow).

OBJECTIVES

The overall objective of this project is to strengthen the impact of existing actions aimed at further developing startup and scaleup support by building on the experience of the European Entrepreneurial Regions initiative of the Committee of the Regions. Essentially, this project is meant to make a real positive difference in the ecosystem that regions offer for entrepreneurs to thrive in.

The main outcomes expected from the project include:

Increased knowledge of what makes a successful ecosystem for the regions involved.
Increased knowledge of EER ecosystems.
Knowledge sharing and used for capacity building for different types of actors in the EER ecosystems, including public authorities.
A demonstration of how ecosystem can cooperate at EU level.
