The project will help to make Blekinge an example for ownership shifts among small and medium-sized companies. The project will contribute to retaining, as well as increasing the number of companies and jobs in Blekinge. The project will increase knowledge of how companies can be acquired and run by employees. The project aims to develop a model that provides a clear process, clear tools and shows what benefits society achieves. The model will be disseminated through a film and implemented in Coompanion’s regular operations. Direct support provided to entrepreneurs through the project is: business development, advice and support in the process of acquiring companies, contacting financial players for acquisitions and increased knowledge of the benefits of employee-owned entrepreneurship both for individuals and society. The project is being carried out by Coompanion Blekinge in support of several partners.
