Please find attached a partner search for a project idea on ‘International Entrepreneurial Business Programme for Fashion sector (IEBP)' from North Staffordshire Chamber of Commerce (west Midlands) under the INTERREG Programme.
This project aims to develop the West Midlands fashion sector through researching clusters, developing branding, building links, sharing knowledge/best practice and identifying supply chains in the EU.
The project hope to achieve this by creating partnerships with clusters (including businesses, policy-makers, decision takers) in other EU countries; better recognition and understanding of branding and entrepreneurialism as drivers for growth in the sector.
The final project aims are:
- Improved knowledge
- Shared best practice
- Better international linkages
- Better decision making and policy development
Please note North Staffordshire Chamber of Commerce do not seek to be a lead partner but are looking to be part of a project which would have broadly similar aims and would want to work with West Midlands region companies and organisations in the fashion and lifestyle sector, through the Chamber of Commerce.
Full details are given on the attached. Please send your expressions of interest by 7 May 2010:
