Silesian Entrepreneurship Development Network

The project aims to develop and strengthen entrepreneurship by increasing the availability of advisory services of a development nature, provided by accredited business environment institutions, for newly established and existing micro, small and medium-sized enterprises from the Silesian Voivodeship, which are at an early stage of development (operating no longer than 3 years). The aim of the project is to strengthen the competitiveness of enterprises in the region by stimulating the creation of new companies and their development, in particular companies with innovative potential and providing conditions for the development of SMEs in the initial stage of their development. An important assumption is to use the existing potential of Business Environment Institutions (BEIs) operating in the Silesian Voivodeship dealing with entrepreneurship support. The project will provide financial support for young SMEs from the Silesian Voivodeship, in the form of vouchers for development advisory services, worth up to PLN 150,000 for one entrepreneur. Vouchers for advisory services are used to finance development services, in accordance with the individual needs of a given SME, which will be provided by accredited Silesian Business Environment Institutions. At least 241 SMEs will receive support in the form of vouchers. Actions are planned in the project, such as: direct consultations at information and consulting points, group information meetings and seminars, building an ecosystem of support for entrepreneurs, networking activities involving IOB and entrepreneurs of the Silesian Voivodeship. The project will be implemented in the period of: 1.06.2024-31.05.2029. Project implemented by FG and ŚFR. A number of information and promotion activities are planned in the project, e.g.: inauguration/summary meeting of the project (with the participation of representatives of the European Commission, the MA, the IB), cyclical information campaigns of a marketing and promotional nature (i.e. intensified activities promoting services and the business support network in the region and the project offer in the local and regional media and digital space), mandatory marking of venues of events/services (tables, posters, marking materials) Materials promoting the project will be developed: information leaflets/folders. We have developed procedures, a network of contacts. We will provide information about the project to key institutes from the support area, e.g. JST, IOB, clusters, universities/career centres, inst. R&D and during local events and information meetings. If necessary, an additional information and promotion campaign (including advertisements in the press). Objective: informing about the project, encouraging participation, presenting the objectives and effects of the project. Activities will be aimed at reaching out to start-up entrepreneurs (women) and young entrepreneurs outside large urban centres: mobile consultation points, animation/information unit Promotional activities will be in line with the ‘Journey of the applicant and beneficiary of the FE for the period 2021-2027 in the field of information and promotion’, EU guidelines, Project Reg. https://www.fgsa.pl
