Business support services

EBSOMED (Enhancing Business Support Organisations and Business Networks in the Southern Neighbourhood) is project co-financed by the European Union and coordinated by BUSINESSMED (Union of Mediterranean Confederations of Enterprises) as part of a consortium of six partners. More than thirty organisations from 26 countries are also affiliated to the project.

The "Entrepreneurship and Business Development in Mesoamerica" (EDEM) project, co-financed by the European Union through the ADELANTE Programme, aimed to support entrepreneurs in developing and strengthening their business ideas and to assist small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) in enhancing their capacity for innovation. By facilitating the transfer of successful Colombian tools and methodologies to eight Mesoamerican countries, the initiative sought to foster economic growth, reduce inequalities, and eradicate poverty in the region. Through collaborative efforts among various chambers of commerce, governmental institutions, and regional organizations, the project emphasized knowledge exchange, capacity building, and the development of supportive entrepreneurial ecosystems.
