What they say about us
“We’ve been doing researches and studies on competitiveness and innovation for years; all of them are now sitting on a shelf in some office. The training programme of the Foundation, specially the field project, gave us the tools we needed. Together with our local expertise, that makes a powerful setting to concretely support local companies.”
