The Central Baltic Interreg project JASMEX – Joint Acceleration of Smart City and Sustainable Mobility SME Export to Third Countries – is creating new opportunities for SMEs in Estonia, Finland and Sweden working with smart city and sustainable mobility solutions.
The project helps small and medium-sized companies enter international markets that are often difficult to access alone. Many SMEs have strong and innovative solutions, but competing for large public contracts in countries such as Canada and Turkey can be challenging for smaller companies on their own.
Through JASMEX, SMEs can join cross-border consortia and combine their products and services into stronger joint offers. By working together, companies can increase their visibility, strengthen their credibility and improve their chances of winning international tenders.
Soon, Swedish SMEs developing solutions in mobility and smart city innovation will be able to apply to join the consortium.
JASMEX focuses on practical support and real business opportunities. Participating SMEs will receive help with market insights, finding new leads, building partnerships, legal support and connecting with international buyers.
With support from JASMEX, SMEs will have new opportunities to grow internationally, build valuable partnerships and turn innovative solutions into successful business opportunities in global markets.
