FoCus aims at fostering synergies between public policies in support of e-Business for SMEs. The aim of this project is to create networks of e-business know-how across national borders. The follow-up project of SYNEBIS therefore facilitates the exchange of best practices in policy measures in the field of eBusiness.
Together with its partners in Italy, Spain and the Czech Republic, MFG Baden-Württemberg has developed a handbook to support planning, implementation and auditing of e-business programmes and initiatives. In addition to outlining the success factors for regional e-business initiatives, the handbook also describes best practice examples from the four partner regions: Baden-Württemberg (Germany), Piedmont (Italy), Valencia (Spain) and Vysocina (Czech Republic).
Parallel to this, a special training concept has been developed based on knowledge teaching in workshops and online seminars. The training courses are particularly targeted at representatives of trade associations and politics, who it is envisaged will subsequently act as multipliers by passing on their eBusiness know-how to small and medium-sized enterprises. The handbook, a multimedia tutorial, quizzes and checklists are free of charge on the website.
The project consortium consists of the following partners:
