First multiplier event under the DRAGGING project – ENTREPRENEURSHIP
WITH THE PUBLIC ADMINISTRATION
New business opportunities are
offered by the DRAGGING project of the Regional Development Agency with the
Business Center for the Support of Small and Medium Enterprises (RDABSCSMEs).
It is aimed at non-governmental organizations, people at risk of exclusion,
local and regional public authorities.
The project seeks to reduce the
gap between the local administration and NGOs, to build a bank of business
opportunities, to create added value in the social sector through an innovative
methodology, facilitating the generation of a toolkit for the economic
viability of NGOs, improving their relationship with the administration in the
new context of public procurement.
This became clear during the
first multiplication event under the DRAGGING project, organized by RDABSCSMEs,
which took place on December 18 in the building of the regional administration
in front of over 40 representatives of regional and municipal administrations,
public institutions, non-governmental organizations, people at risk of
exclusion and etc. Eng. Velizar Petrov,
executive director of RDABSCSMEs, and manager of the DRAGGING project,
presented the project and one of its main products at the business ideas market.
"One of the fundamental human rights is the right to work! That is
why, through the project, we enable people from vulnerable groups to benefit
and exercise this right," he said. "In addition to the multitude
of validated business ideas, part of the online
platform "BUSINESS-IDEAS MARKET", representatives of the target
groups can benefit from the mentoring program, as well as information and
training materials, including those related to the specifics of work with
public procurement and the relevant legal regulation.
An online training course will
also be developed by the end of the project, which will provide additional
knowledge to those wishing to create their own business, partnering with local
and regional public authorities.
