About

According to FED CCNET partners, low level of competitiveness and generally unfavorable business environment, in comparison to EU countries, is a problem in Croatia and Serbia’s border regions. Lack of skilled workers and lack of relevant competences in certain specialized fields, such as product design, export management and marketing, is an issue that affects the region’s competitiveness. Partners from Lovas, Bač and Ilok seek to address this challenge by developing infrastructure, services and networks for enterprises and the unemployed and create a more favorable business environment in the cross-border area. The partnership will do this by establishing a Business Competence Center (BCC) in Lovas, with two branch offices in Ilok and Bač. These Centers will provide trainings and mentoring programs for companies working in the area and encourage cooperation between research institutions and SMEs, especially export-oriented ones, within the Smart Cooperation program.
