QUICK IGA

Equal opportunities for women and men in the labor market need to be improved in every respect. This is also in the interest of SMEs, which represent 99% of businesses in BSR and provide up to 70% of all jobs. Already today, their growth is severely limited by the constantly increasing lack of skilled workforce. Through a greater labor participation of women particularly in leading positions innovations will be strengthened. All three goals of this project, strengthening innovation, promotion of SMEs and in particular female entrepreneurship are explicitly mentioned objectives of the EU Strategy for the BSR.
