During the global coronavirus pandemic, the resilience of small and medium enterprises (SMEs) has been put to the ultimate test. The EU4Business initiative launched country websites with information for SMEs in Armenia, Azerbaijan, Belarus, Georgia, the Republic of Moldova, and Ukraine, on how to access EU support throughout the COVID-19 pandemic.
These websites will combine all major local business-related economic opportunities for SMEs from the six countries. They also include guidance on the available measures to mitigate the impact of COVID-19 on their businesses.
The COVID-19 Information Support webpages for each Eastern partner country are available below:
- Armenia
- Azerbaijan
- Belarus
- Georgia
- Moldova
- Ukraine (as part of Map of Opportunities for SMEs)
EU4Business will regularly publish information on current credit and loan opportunities as well as grant programmes available for businesses within the framework of the initiative. The platforms will also list specific government support measures for entrepreneurship, as well as a number of COVID-19-related resources for free business advice and various online services.
