OG: Sustaining sustainable entrepreneurship and creating sustainable jobs through non-agricultural enterprises in the urban area of the NW region of Romania. The general objective of the project Sustainable Entrepreneurship in the North-West Region (in short N-V AS) will contribute to the achievement of Thematic Objective 8: “Promoting sustainable and quality jobs and supporting worker mobility” under POCU 2014-2020, Priority Axis 3: “Jobs for all” by supporting the establishment and operation of 66 new enterprises, including innovative micro, small and medium-sized enterprises, with a non-agile profile in the urban area, located in the North West Development Region, based on subsidies granted to businessmen/entrepreneurs participating in the training programme and the competition of business plans organised within the AS N-V project. A number of 4 entities from the NV Region will participate in this objective: Baia Mare Municipality, as applicant and 3 partners: P1 – micro-enterprise SC Center of Excellence for Community Resources SRL, P2 – non-governmental organisation Fundatia Centre for the Development of Small and Medium-sized Enterprises Baia Mare, and P3 – SC Intratest S.A., all partners having the experience in providing vocational training programs in the entrepreneurial field and in providing consultancy services for the establishment and operation of enterprises. Partner P2 non-governmental organisation Fundatia Centre for the Development of Small and Medium-sized Enterprises Baia Mare conducted between September 12nd – October 10, 2016, an online research of which conclusions are described below.

At regional level, the lack of opportunities for financing start-ups is apparent from the research carried out by partner P2: CDIMM Maramures. According to the replies to the submitted questionnaire, 97.8 % have a concrete business idea, which they would like to start quickly, but 92.2 % have less than EUR 10,000 available (and 41.1 % do not have any leu available to start a business). The conclusion is that at regional level the number of people who want to start a business and have a minimal capital with which they could start in business is very small, and as such
