The EU is supporting SMEs through 100+ projects in the Eastern Partnership region

The project aims to bolster Georgia's Competition and Consumer Protection Policy to align with its commitments under the EU-Georgia Association Agreement.

Project Objectives: improve production capacity of local businesses through a quality control laboratory for agricultural products, crops, diary and wine; assure economic activity and social inclusion through improved technical tools, skills, know-how and capacities of all individuals and businesses involved in agricultural production value chain and tourism.

This project seeks to enhance Oni Municipality's economic competitiveness by establishing and nurturing business clusters to attract potential investors.

The main goal of the Joint EU-UN Programme is to enhance the quality of life and socio-economic conditions of the rural population in Abkhazia, with a particular emphasis on agriculture, ensuring equal benefits for both men and women as well as specific groups like individuals with disabilities or minority ethnic communities.

The project significantly contributes to strengthening both the institutional and human capacities of GEOSTM. It enhances Georgia's standardization and metrology infrastructure, ensuring it can provide tailored services to stakeholders.

This project assists Eastern Partner governments in enhancing institutional frameworks, particularly for SMEs. It involves supporting the development of SME strategies, implementing monitoring systems, and fostering public-private dialogue to inform policymaking and monitor reform progress.

Within the project, the implementing European food safety institutions work closely with Georgian colleagues for legal approximation. They also align national rules and procedures with EU standards and build capacities in food safety, veterinary, phytosanitary, and SPS border control.

The project assists established firms seeking financing from capital markets for various purposes such as infrastructure development, energy efficiency, green projects, and early-stage funding.
