Greece and Bulgaria, two neighboring countries with a rich past, since the end of the 1990s have entered an era of closer co-operation, due to the INTERREG Programme “Greece-Bulgaria”.
The main idea behind “INTERREG” is that countries have issues which can be better solved if they work together with their neighbors than if each one remains confined within its borders. So for this reason, in our Programme we promote activities that bring our people closer. One needs to look no further than the land and the rivers we share and move on to roads and then to culture, food and traditions. In every case what happens on the one side of the border affects the other side as well. The need for joint actions is gradually becoming the normal than the exception.
The business environment in the cross-border area presents weaknesses in providing financial tools to SMEs, either at the stage of their establishment or at the level of existing ones that require working capital (funds). The proposed project comes to cover the aforementioned gap by providing specialized support that takes into account the profiles of the stakeholders and aims to highlight and use new financial instruments (tools) and services of access to working capital (funds).
The following corporate scheme participates in the implementation of the “Innobus” project:
• LB – PROFESSIONALS ‘ ASSOCIATION OF THESSALONIKI HISTORICAL CENTER
• PB 2 – PROFESSIONALS’ CHAMBER OF THESSALONIKI
• PB 3 – ASSOCIATION OF ENTREPRENEURS GOTSE DELCHEV REGION
