Enterprise Competitiveness / Business Development Services

I have developed a practice that combines Small and Medium Scale Enterprise (SME) development, investment promotion, information technologies and knowledge management into an integrated package consistent with contemporary technological demands.

With the cooperation of EURECNA S.R.L. and other qualified individual SME experts, I can offer a formidable experience on how to handle technical assistance to improve competitiveness of local private enterprises in a variety of economic sectors in emerging markets and other developing countries.

I can suggest to my clients, being them international organization task managers, program management units, ministries and government agencies or even business associations, creative / hands-on / technology based solutions to the most demanding challenges posed by innovative projects dedicated to improving country, region and sector competitiveness. One example is my capacity to engineering ICT-based solutions to streamlining business registration and licensing.

To support the design, implementation, monitoring and evaluation of entrepreneurial development and competitiveness projects, I am able to offer:

• Policy Advice to Governments and development agencies, utilizing the best international practice on regulatory and institutional framework to promote technological innovation in SMEs (clusters, industrial districts, networks, subcontracting, etc.)

• Support to Governments and private associations to establish delivery mechanisms of business development services (BDS).

• Institutional development assistance to already established chambers of commerce/industry and sector associations.

• Facilitation of SME access to external and local financing (micro-credit programs; credit guarantee schemes; risk capital and enterprise development funds; credit-risk information systems; and regulatory framework to simplify access to credit).
