Project summary:

The Trendig Plus project focuses on assisting small businesses operating in the Austrian-Hungarian border region in transitioning to the digital space and participating more effectively in intelligent specialization areas.

The project aims to develop practical solutions to help small businesses keep up with the rapid changes in the digital world and leverage tools to increase their economic strength.

As a result of the project, a long-term cooperation network will be established, along with the creation of a strategic and action plan. This plan will outline how knowledge transfer will take place. The new knowledge will assist startup and small businesses in using digital technologies, such as artificial intelligence, cybersecurity, and sustainability.

Several methods will be available primarily for the small business sector, with educational institutions also participating in the project to aid in developing new entrepreneurial skills.

Utilizing interregional exchange of experiences and collaboration, project partners aim to support businesses in seizing opportunities in the digital world, thereby promoting their development and contributing to the increase in their economic performance.
