The BSR Go-abroad programme helps smaller businesses in the Baltic Sea Region engage in international activities. This includes anything from initial regional market expansion, transfer of knowledge as well as securing strong local value chains.
About BSR Go-abroad
The objective of BSR Go-abroad is to increase the resilience of Baltic Sea Region micro SMEs and the Baltic Sea Region, by stimulating increased trade and collaboration within the Baltic Sea Region. This will be done by providing micro SMEs with the knowledge, tools and network to execute effectful internationalisation strategies and build strong local value chains within the Baltic Sea Region.
The project will pilot an internationalisation programme for micro SMEs, that will have as its output a blueprint of tools and recommendations on how to increase and support local trade and value chain cooperations among micro SMEs in the BSR. The blueprint will then be transferred to and used by the micro SMEs themselves, business development organisations and business development departments of local authorities in the Baltic Sea geography.
The project will support 250 SMEs throughout the project.
BSR Go-abroad is co-funded by the European Union through the Interreg Baltic Sea Region programme.
