The project will promote established companies in their growth phase and support companies in developing new business opportunities, increasing their turnover and/or reaching an international market. The overall goal is to increase the number of companies that grow sustainably in the region and to strengthen the companies’ international competitiveness. To achieve the goals, the project will work with customised advice and that more of the region’s companies benefit from knowledge and networks among existing competences within the advisory system. The project aims to create gutters between loans and advice and they want to create resource-efficient benefits by developing cooperation between Almi and other actors in the public support system. The project’s activities will consist of information efforts, needs analysis, knowledge seminars and advice, both individual and group counselling. In the project, they will collaborate with other promoters and, for example, organise joint seminars, lock customers to each other and conduct joint advisory meetings. Through customised advice, access to qualified business coaching, networks and increased contacts with the region’s promoters, more companies are believed to develop their business and contribute to the region’s overall growth and internationalisation. By adding knowledge, methods and contacts for business development within the project, there is an ambition to create the conditions for entrepreneurs to develop more innovative sustainable business models, increase their digital capabilities, increase their internationalisation and realise the company’s potential for growth. Expected long-term effects of the project are that participating companies will to a greater extent be prepared and consciously engaged in activities that build competitive advantages. Furthermore, business-promoting actors will have built partnerships with the aim of providing the region’s companies with more comprehensive needs-adapted support with the stakeholders’ expertise. The support systems have been made more accessible and the offerings of the actors in different respects have been coordinated.
