GIMED : soutenir la création et le développement de l'entrepreneuriat dans l'économie verte et circulaire

Objectif

Grants, entitled ‘green vouchers’ in the GIMED project, will be used to cover specific technical assistance needs related to business creation and business development processes. Those needs will be pre-identified during the training and coaching sessions. The needs assessment and costs will be validated by the local partners before the disbursement of the 'green voucher'. The expected impact is to consolidate and build stronger business solutions that will create sustainable jobs in the region.
