Regional Agency for Development and European Integration Belgrade, in cooperation with the Chamber of Commerce of Belgrade and the City Municipality of Voždovac, today presented support programs for the sector of small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) for the year 2016.
In the next year, the competitiveness program of the European Union COSME will be available to the SME sector, as well as funds from the Small Enterprises Support Program for the purchase of equipment.
Program COSME lasts from 2014 to 2020 and has a budget of 2.3 billion euros. These funds are only the basis of the guarantee scheme, which includes commercial banks with their sources of financing, so it is expected that, in the next five years, in this way, a total of 21 billion euros will be injected into 330,000 small and medium-sized enterprises. The largest part of the funds is intended for investing in the growth and development of small and medium-sized enterprises.
Within the Support Program for Small Businesses for the Procurement of Equipment, the Bill on the Budget for 2016 foresees funds in the amount of RSD 500,000,000.00.
At the presentation, the support programs that the Regional Agency for Development and European Integration Belgrade will provide to the SME sector in the coming year were also presented.
