Programme: All

Entrepreneurship in rural areas is hampered by the high risk associated with operating in small markets, lack of capital and insufficient access to business development and advice. The LAG's small business sector faces additional territorial obstacles related to lower purchasing power of the local population and stagnant rural economy. Support for investment for start-ups and the development of existing micro-enterprises is an important tool for improving the competitiveness and potential for employment creation of the economy in the LAG. This support will facilitate the development of the area by creating more and better jobs, helping to diversify non-agricultural activities in the LAG. The project proposal provides for the purchase of machinery and equipment, which will ensure the functioning of a modern, competitive enterprise in a rural area, which will create 7 new jobs in a high unemployment area. INTERDICO Ltd. has undertaken a strategy of growth and diversification in which to enter a relatively new market and offer products different from those produced in the area. The project proposal will create a small machine-building enterprise. The company plans initially to launch its product range with the production of two types of technological scales in the range up to 200 - 250 kg: 1. Platform electronic tensometric scales widely used in industry, agriculture, commerce, etc .; 2. Electronic tensometric scales for suspended loads, applicable to agriculture and storage, industry, etc .; 3.Agricultural portable and quickly disassembled / pre-assembled platform scales of 1 000 kg. Subsequently, the company plans to expand the items manufactured with new measurement and control tools in industry, agriculture, transport and medicine.
