The geopolitical situation is increasing the resilience requirements for businesses. The main objective of the BRIDGE project is therefore to strengthen the long-term competitiveness of SMEs by building their capacity in resilient business models, innovation, and resilience risk management. The project will also establish new cross-border collaborations and business relationships to reduce dependence on critical external suppliers, and implement a policy lab to develop a roadmap for strengthening business resilience in the Kvarken Region.
The project will engage with 200 companies through business meetings, 100 companies will participate in matchmaking activities, and 20 companies will take part in the growth programme.
