The double dip recession characterized the Italian enconomy between 2008 and 2012. The redefinition of the international economic stability has highlighted, for the companies of the Italian North East region, a significant competitive gap. Therefore this project was born in order to provide answers to the need of all those SMEs who need to be supported and led towards efficient competitive strategies paying attention mainly to the following issues: - Entrepreneurship (investments, support to start up, Fab Lab, etc.) - Territorial Marketing (strategies for SMEs dealing with tourists and for the cultural and economic region exploitation) - Energy efficiency (strategies and professional training good practices), - Safety at work (strategies and professional training good practices). The long term objective of the NET project has been - and still it is - to stimulate a regeneration process of the competitive potential of micro and small enterprises in Veneto and Friuli Venezia Giulia regions, thus, taking advantage of the consolidated skills as well as of new ones, they can exploit themselves on the national and on the international market. In order to achieve this goal, the NET project created a network of experts or operators in the field of professional training through: - staff training mobilities at excellent organizations abroad with activities in the specific project issues Teaching assignments at organizations who requested professional trainingo in order to update entrepreneurial skills of their own staff The NET network is now able to provide an added value to the territory, enhancing entrepreneurship in the two regions (Veneto and Friuli Venezia Giulia) through professional training, coaching services and the adoption of innovative measures at regional, national and european level. The mobility flows involved: - staff of the Italian VET centres partner of the Consortium: it has been about 2/3 training days at foreign organizations that have been identified and selected on the base of the efficiency of their entrepreneurship strategies developed for their regions; - trainers of Italian partners of the Consortium: it has been about 3 training days at a foreign organization who needed a skills improvement for its own staff with a modernization and internationalization perspective. The NET project activities have had (and still will have) a direct impact on: - participants, since the training axperience improved knowledge, competences and skills of staff in the project field of interest, - partners of the Consortium, since they had a chance to fill in a gap in their professional training offer thanks to the added value of the experience of the staff involved in the mobilities, meeting the demand of the territory. - target group, since entrepreneurs as well as potential entrepreneurs will have available a qualified support (of NET Consortium partners) for the creation or development of their own company thank to the exploitation of methodologies and strategies already adopted with success abroad.
