The main objective of the project is to empower entrepreneurship and SMEs by providing the opportunity to participate in fairs and exhibitions without the preparation and cost expenses required for global exhibitions. SMEs can dramatically increase the possibility of business survival and viability through networking and an extroverted export strategy. At the same time, the project’s platform will provide tools and support to all SMEs, while participation in fairs mainly benefits commercial businesses, especially in the food, agriculture, textile, handicrafts and agri-food sectors. The two GR and BGB partners (chambers) will purchase equipment for the fairs and will organise 4 local mobile fairs each in the areas of their activity. Parallel to the fairs, some local events will be organised, such as joint B2B meetings, seminars on Financial tools, Business support possibilities, etc. (typical activities of the chambers). The other two partners will conduct a study about the needs in the area concerned (best practices in 3 EU countries about local exhibitions) and will give solutions about the most effective way of organising the mobile fairs (sectors, involvement of the SMEs from the other side of the border, sustainability and others)
