HIGHLIGHTS:
JEREMIE: Joint European Resources for Micro to Medium Enterprises
JEREMIE
The European Commission, European Investment Bank and European Investment Fund have launched a joint initiative to improve SMEs' access to finance in the framework of European Regions.
The initiative, called Joint European Resources for Micro to Medium Enterprises, known by the acronym JEREMIE, will enable European Member States and Regions to use part of their structural funds to obtain a set of financial instruments that are specifically designed to support micro and small and medium enterprises.
The initiative will contribute to growth and employment in line with the renewed Lisbon agenda, which was agreed by the Member States meeting at the Spring Council in March 2005.
The European Commission's Communication, "Cohesion Policy in support of growth and jobs, Community strategic guidelines 2007-2013", stresses the importance of improving access to finance for the development of SMEs. In particular, it emphasises the need to enhance support on competitive terms for start-ups and micro-enterprises, through technical assistance, grants, as well as non-grant instruments such as loans, equity, venture capital and guarantees. The report highlights the added value of undertaking these actions in cooperation with the EIB Group, namely European Investment Bank (EIB) and European Investment Fund (EIF).

NESSI SME / NEXOF / NESSI2010 Invitation
Stuart Campbell
NESSI SME Lead

Dear Colleagues
It has been quiet, I know, on the SME front after the December NESSI GA, the SME session and of course the Xmas break. The main reason for this has been the ramping up of the NESSI projects under FP7 which has been taking place during the last quarter and which can now have a positive impact on our community. In particular it was appropriate to wait for the inauguration of projects NEXOF-RA (The NESSI Reference Architecture) and NESSI 2010 (The NESSI Coordination action) and to resolve some administrative matters on this note as you will see in this mail.
I will leave you to read about the full details of the projects on the URLs but what I would like to introduce to you in this document is the open ICT SME component of both projects which whilst difficult to achieve, especially considering significant budget cuts, have managed to be inserted.
