    The official launch event of the Enterprise Europe Network in Armenia
    will be held on June 20, 2008 in the Delegation of the European
    Commission to Armenia. There will be present around 100 representatives
    of the RA Government, international/foreign organizations and
    diplomatic missions, as well as business community at the event.

    Opening welcome remarks will be done by H.E. Ambassador, Mr. Raul
    de Luzenberger, Head of the Delegation of the European Commission
    to Armenia, Mr. Nerses Yeritsyan, Minister of the Trade and Economic
    Development of the RA, and Mr. Ishkhan Karapetyan, Executive Director
    of the SME DNC of Armenia. The main goals and tender opportunities in
    the framework of the Enterprise Europe Network activities implementing
    in Armenia will be presented to business community.

    In 2007, a call for proposals was announced to select partner
    organizations for a new European business support network under the CIP
    (Competitiveness and Innovation Framework Programme) of the European
    Commission. The proposal presented by the Fund "Small and Medium
    Entrepreneurship Development National Centre of Armenia" (SME DNC of
    Armenia) at the call has been approved by the European Commission. As
    a result, the SME DNC of Armenia as the host partner organization
    became the member of the renamed "Enterprise Europe Network" in 2008.

    The aim of the Enterprise Europe Network is to support small and
    medium enterprises (SMEs) operating in Europe and beyond; to develop
    their innovative potential; to get them involved in EU policy making
    activities directed to the entrepreneurship support by collecting and
    conveying feedback from SMEs to the Commission. The Enterprise Europe
    Network offers to entrepreneurs the broadest range of one-stop shop
    services which will give opportunities to develop and internationalize
    their entrepreneurial activities.

    Currently, the Enterprise Europe Network is present in 27 EU member
    countries, EU candidate countries - Turkey and Former Yugoslav
    Republic of Macedonia, members of the European Economic Area (EEA)
    - Norway and Iceland, as well as starting from 2008 - Israel,
    Switzerland and Armenia. The Enterprise Europe Network is made up
    of around 500 organizations providing tailored business services in
    about 40 countries, including chambers of commerce and industry,
    regional development agencies and university technology centres
    employing around 4000 experienced professionals.

    The Enterprise Europe Network provides comprehensive support to
    the network member SMEs in the directions as the follows: â~@¢
    Providing information on EU policy-making, legislation, standards,
    possible sources of financing, business cooperation opportunities
    and other EU issues, â~@¢ Supporting SMEs to establish new business
