Aug. 19 – The Molise region is ready to expand in foreign markets, and it makes it known via a public tender seeking local SMEs interested in beginning an exploratory mission of the benefits put forth by the EU Commission’s funding for the region. The funding is made available via the Regional Operative Programme of the European Fund for Regional Development and its work packages, which strive to promote regional capacity as well as innovation and research by increasing productivity and entrepreneurship outside dimestic border. Molise companies will thus have to select and indicate the strategic elements, (such as alliances, joint ventures, and market analyses), and activities (such as B2B meetings, participation in international fairs, incoming…) that are conform to both their needs and the work packages provided.
