“USAID projekat “Diaspora Invest” raspisao javni poziv za dodjelu bespovratnih sredstava kompanijama u Bosni i Hercegovini koje imaju dokazivo suvlasništvo ili poslovno partnerstvo sa članovima bh. dijaspore. Pozivu se može pristupiti online na www.grant.diasporainvest.ba, te aplicirati za sredstva do 50.000 konvertibilnih maraka za nabavku mašina, opreme i druge vrste stalnih sredstava za rad.
“Riječ je o osmom pozivu ovog tipa, čiji je cilj podrška malim i srednjim preduzećima (d.o.o.) koja nisu starija od tri godine. Poziv je fokusiran na kompanije koje rade u sektorima poljoprivrede, energetike, turizma, IKT, metaloprerade, drvoprerade te u drugim proizvodno-prerađivačkim sektorima”, pojašnjavaju iz Projekta.
Kroz grant program i aktivnosti tehničke podrške USAID projekat “Diaspora Invest” je podržao preko 140 kompanija. Većinom je riječ o poslovnim subjektima čiji su suvlasnici Bosanci i Hercegovci koji su se nedavno vratili u BiH, ali i oni koji još uvijek borave van zemlje. Također, Projekat podržava kompanije koje su zahvaljujući poslovnim vezama sa dijasporom pokrenule biznise u BiH, ostvarile pristup stranim tržištima ili su prenosom znanja i tehnologija preko bh. dijaspore pokrenule nove oblike proizvodnje i usluga u našoj zemlji.
“Rok za slanje projektnih prijedloga je 31.03.2021. (do 16:00h). Pridružite se rastućoj mreži kompanija pokrenutih zahvaljujući investicijama bh. dijaspore. Za dodatna pitanja, ne propustite se prijaviti na online info-sesije 10.03. (10:00h) i 18.03. (16:00h) putem e-mail prijava@diasporainvest.ba“, poručuju iz USAID Projekta “Diaspora Invest”.
