At the same time, there is low demand for CB area entrepreneurs for support services for the establishment of new enterprises and for the development of new products\/services which is perhaps related to the luck of such support services.<br \/>\nThe project focuses on the establishment of favorable business environment as a prerequisite for sustainable development in the CB area. Therefore, project partners having identified the above as constraints for the economic development of the area, aim to establish six business support centers in the regions of Thessaloniki, Serres, Kavala, Komotini, Smolyan and Haskovo.[\/m_work][m_work title_tab=&#8221;Objectives&#8221; title2=&#8221;Objectives&#8221; link=&#8221;\/&#8221; image=&#8221;10768,10767,10773,10792&#8243;]The project\u2019 overall objective is the development of a cross border scheme composed of business support organizations that will exchange good practices and cooperate with a goal to jointly tackle the issue of empowering existing and new businesses in the cross border area.
