The regional competence center for "growing" suppliers of small and medium–sized businesses will operate on the basis of the Omsk Entrepreneurship Support Fund.
As told by the Deputy Minister of Economy of the Omsk regionElena Rusinova, the national project for small and medium–sized businesses provides for the implementation of a mechanism for "growing" suppliers of small and medium-sized businesses in the region by the end of this year.
The draft order, adopted today by the regional Government as part of a regular meeting, is supposed to assign the functions of the regional competence center to the Omsk Regional Fund for Small Business Support and Development.
The Foundation will implement the "one-stop shop" principle for entrepreneurs who have expressed a desire to participate in "growing" events. According to the requirements of the SME Corporation, an individual development map will be created for the entrepreneur. This will allow us to expand and modernize production, purchase new equipment, gain access to financial and material resources, find new sources of sales for our products and become reliable suppliers. In the first year of the mechanism's launch, it is planned to ensure the cultivation of at least 3 suppliers in the region – small and medium-sized businesses.
This mechanism has already been launched in 18 regions of the Russian Federation. By the end of the year, it is planned to implement a project on "cultivation" in 30 more regions, including the Omsk region.
