Implementation period: 01/02/2019–30/04/2020
Partners: HÉTFA Research Institute (Hungary), Slovak Business Agency (SK), University of Economics, Prague (CZ)

Budget: 20,455 €

The main aim of the V4 Network on Entrepreneurship project is to set up a pool of knowledge, experts and researchers to form new, cross-country network about entrepreneurship and SMEs in the Visegrad countries. We are planning to set up an online database of research organizations, scholars and universities dealing with local and regional enterprises. This network will facilitate knowledge exchange by creating tools of communication between them. In addition, this main output of the project prepares the basis for joint thinking, articulation of interest and recommendations as well as for further joint projects in V4 countries.
Among other activities there is an international conference in September 2019, focusing on SMEs in V4 countries, where academics, organizations and other stakeholders will be invited to share their countries’ and disciplines’ knowledge as well as a workshop in January 2020 with the involvement of decision-makers from the Visegrad countries to deliver joint policy recommendations aiming to support them in fine-tuning entrepreneurship related policies.
