On June 22, 2022, the Chamber Investment Forum Western Balkans 6 (WB6 CIF) announced the call for participation in the project of providing technical assistance in the application for EU funds. The technical assistance program is being held within the project „EU support to the WB6 CIF“ in cooperation with six Chambers of the Western Balkans region.
The call for applying and participating in the project is open for micro, small, and medium-sized enterprises (MSMEs) in the Western Balkans. The goal of the project is to enable the MSMEs access to EU funds. Selected companies, 10 companies for each of the six economies, will have the opportunity to receive external expert support in applying for EU programs.
A special Application Platform has been created, designed specifically for implementing the application process and selection of potential program participants. The platform will also serve as a key contact point, help desk, and knowledge center for the participating companies.
Upon completion of the training, an evaluation and assessment of companies that meet the set criteria will be performed and based on the results, 60 MSMEs from the Western Balkan region will be included in the further work process, and each company will be provided with an individual approach.
The project is designed to educate potential candidates most efficiently, through the example of a generic proposal call. Upon completion of the program, and evaluation of potential candidates, selected companies will be notified.
The deadline for submitting applications for the support program for small and medium-sized enterprises when applying for access to EU funds, i.e. registering companies on the platform, is September 9, 2022.
