The programme is financed by the Nordic Council of Ministers and the governments of Estonia, Latvia and Lithuania. The annual budget of the programme is 2 million DKK.

The overall objective of the Nordic-Baltic Mobility Programme for Business and Industry is to promote economic cooperation, innovation and entrepreneurship in the Nordic-Baltic region. The nearest deadline for submitting applications is March 31st, 2010.

“The programme is open to small and medium-size enterprises, business organizations and incubators as well as state institutions, working in the field of business environment”, says adviser Vida Gintautaite.
