Short description
The general goal of the project was to increase the competitiveness, innovation, digital and technological capacities of SMEs. The BITNET consortium offered continuous support to consortium users in the field of innovation, digitization and internationalization as well as greater involvement in Horizon 2020.
As part of the project, INTERA TP trained 10 new mentors to provide support to SMEs. After the provided training for mentors, 12 companies were selected and provided with mentoring support. More than 50 companies received information about the services available within the EEN network through digital channels. The annual EEN conference in Finland was attended as well as the regional conference in Belgrade, which was a great opportunity to develop the network, especially in the context of the Western Balkans. Cooperation was achieved with 4 local stakeholders in organizing the event: Mostar Fair, FIPA, Chamber of Economy of FBIH and the Association of Entrepreneurs of Herzegovina.
