EU4Business launches COVID-19 Information Support platforms for businesses in Eastern Neighbourhood

During the global coronavirus pandemic, the resilience of small and medium enterprises (SMEs) has been put to the ultimate test.

On 28 May, the ‘EU4Business’ initiative launched the COVID-19 Information Support platforms for SMEs in the Eastern Neighbourhood region.

These platforms will combine all major local business-related economic opportunities and decisions for Armenia, Azerbaijan, Belarus, Georgia, the Republic of Moldova and Ukraine. They will also include guidance on the available measures to mitigate the impact of COVID-19 on businesses.

The COVID-19 Information Support platforms for each Eastern partner country are available below:

• Armenia
• Azerbaijan
• Belarus
• Georgia
• Moldova
• Ukraine (as part of Map of Opportunities for SMEs)

‘EU4Business’ will regularly publish information on current credit and loan opportunities as well as grant programmes available for businesses within the framework of the initiative. The platforms will also list specific government support measures for entrepreneurship, as well as a number of COVID-19-related resources for free business advice and various online services.
