Project objectives
The aim of the project is to support the preparation of Ukrainian business organizations and companies for operating in the European Union market.
Actions and results
The activity area led by ESTDEV focuses on strengthening the capacity of Ukrainian companies, business support organisations, sectoral business associations, clusters and regional development organisations. Project activities will be implemented throughout nine regions in Ukraine in three economic sectors: wood and furniture, food and information and communication technology.
As part of the programme, the needs of business organisations and companies will be mapped. Then, targeted training and mentoring programmes will be developed based on these findings. Support will also be provided to strengthen organisations' capacity to advise companies on entering the EU single market, accessing EU funding programmes and developing international project cooperation. The programme will also create new partnerships between Ukrainian and European business organisations and support participation in European cluster networks and international cooperation projects.
