Flanders, Marche and Noord-Brabant win European Entrepreneurial Regions 2014 award

At the 102nd plenary session of Committee of the Regions, Flanders (BE), Marche (IT) and Noord-Brabant (NL) will be awarded the European Entrepreneurial Region (EER) 2014 label by the President of the CoR, Ramón Luis Valcárcel Siso. The jury felt a strong leadership existed in all these regions and very comprehensive, future-looking strategies to further boost entrepreneurial activity in their territory, to contribute substantially to the network of EER regions as a whole while ensuring, at regional level, the swift implementation of major European policy initiatives such as the Small Business Act (SBA) and the Europe 2020 Strategy for growth and jobs. Moreover, all three applications did not only present excellent strategies, but benefitted from a commitment to do better and from a willingness to learn from other EER regions.

Flanders presented an excellent strategy corresponding to certain Europe 2020 objectives as well as SBA principles, covering both past achievements and plans for the future. The application also included EER specific indicators and activities planned for the region, featuring services, grants and business support structures to encourage entrepreneurship. Flanders' application also had a very good focus on continuous innovation and creativity. In addition, a series of EER events were planned to use the EER label in 2014. Lastly, the region also presented good monitoring activities for a proper follow-up of the regional plans. "this award is not just an international recognition for the Government of Flanders, it is also an appreciation of the work that hundreds of thousands of Flemish entrepreneurs do every day in creating jobs and welfare” points out Flanders' Minister-President Kris Peeters (BE/EPP).
