State and European agencies believe strongly that a higher quality of life in such areas such as the Spanish Costa del Sol or the French Côte d`Azur benefit entrepreneurs who want to establish themselves in knowledge based companies. You are invited to participate in this recently created group dedicated to help small businesses and entrepreneurs to set up business in Southern Europe. The forum will help you to get information on available grants from various governmental institutions.
