Enhancing Business Support Organizations and Business Networks in the Southern Neighborhood is the main goal that EBSOMED, with its affiliates’ help, is striving to achieve.
EBSOMED is a project co-financed by the European Union and coordinated by BUSINESSMED (Union of Mediterranean Confederations of Enterprises).
