Young enterprises do not need support only at their establishment, but also during the stages of development and growth. Partners who cooperated in the YOUNG SME’s project have come to a common conclusion that Europe does not offer advanced support environment to the newly founded or young enterprises after their three years of operation.
Since Slovenia is facing a similar situation, we have decided to take part in the YOUNG SME’s project, which wass intended to develop measures in order to enhance the support environment of small and middle-sized enterprises between their third and fifth operating year.
The Slovenian national institutions which are involved in the development and support of young enterprises were incorporated in this project. The project presented an opportunity to improve consultancy services of VEM points and thus also the support environment of our enterprises. Education courses for entrepreneurial consultants were carried out at seminars abroad and two selected examples of good practice were implemented.
