General
objectives
|
|
The Asia-Invest Programme is designed to help companies
internationalise their business strategies and to facilitate
business cooperation between companies in the European
Union and Asia (South and South East Asia and China).
Areas of activity comprise Matchmaking Activities between
European and Asian SMEs, Asian Private Sector Development
in the form of technical assistance and Institutional
Reinforcement consisting of capacity building of Asian
intermediary organisations.
For further details see the Asia-Invest web site:
http://europa.eu.int/comm/europeaid/projects/asia-invest/html2002/main.htm
The Asia-Partenariat instrument facilitates large-scale
business-to-business encounters in Asia, organised around
several sectors of mutual interest for the host country
and the EU. The project has to be organised by a non-profit
local intermediary organisation that represents companies
at national level. Having regard of the institutional
and public relations that the event will offer, in particular
with the promotion of the interests of Sri Lanka in
the European Union, it is advocated that the applicant
receives approval of its Government for the organisation
of the EU-Sri Lanka Partenariat.
