The purpose of the Growth Arena 2.0 project is a powerful investment in companies with growth potential to accelerate their growth and competitiveness in the regional, national and international markets. The aim is to increase the competitiveness and growth of SMEs. This will be done through various growth programmes in which participate in a strategy group, individual coaching, expert help, networking and experience meetings. Some companies that participated in the project, Växarena, which preceded this project will be able to offer in-depth growth advice and/or expert assistance. In the new project, all participating companies will gain knowledge and tools in the following areas, sustainability, internationalisation, digitalisation and finance/financing. The target group for the project is companies with 2-49 employees who show the will and ambition to grow. In the project Almi will conduct 300 growth discussions, offer 150 companies growth programmes and growth coaching, and offer knowledge and inspiration seminars to 500 participants. The VÄXARENA 2.0 project is based on working methods and experiences from the previous project Groxarena.
