DEBUTING - Developing Business Through Inclusiveness and Gender Awareness - New Cluster Competences
The project focuses on gender equality as a factor of competitiveness of Small and Medium Enterprises (SMEs) and a strategic element for industrial development in Europe.
The issue of gender equality is tackled in a new way, in collaboration with the Clust-ERs, and according to the improvement of regional policies.
Clust-ERs are considered “change agents” and an effective tool to support SMEs in learning about and adopting new equality measures, being key players in the design and implementation of smart specialization strategies.
The goal is to promote the competitiveness of SMEs through a more innovative business model based on an inclusive culture, promoting measures that promote gender equality, demonstrating how the latter can act as an engine of sustainable growth and competitiveness for companies.
