SMEBeyond – South Baltic SMEs Advancing Beyond Borders
Boosting Global Expansion for Baltic SMEs
In the South Baltic Region, small and medium enterprises (SMEs) are vital to economic growth, but they face a significant challenge: internationalization. Despite their potential, only 34% engage in international business.. This underrepresentation is not due to a lack of capacity but in fact the complexities and hurdles of international expansions, such as financial constraints, insufficient market intelligence, and complex legal frameworks.
SMEBeyond is a cross-border and strategic initiative designed to change this landscape. Its main objective is to empower SMEs within the thematic areas of renewable energy, sustainable urban development, water and waste management, food packaging, plasma technology and maritime in the South Baltic Region with the necessary tools, insights, and support for successful international ventures.
The project aims to shift the current paradigm, increasing the number of SMEs engaging in international business, thereby enhancing regional economic vitality and global competitiveness. Additionally, the project strive to create more network between South Baltic clusters and partners to gain knowledge from each other.
Funding
The project is co-financed by Interreg South Baltic with funds from the European Regional Development Fund. Read more about Interreg here
