All Erasmus+ project are realised together by several organisations, this is the requirement and SEE 4.0 is no different. The project partners are experienced in Strategic Partnerships project, which can streamline a seamless cooperation and ability to deliver the desired results on time and within the budget. Several partners already worked together in other partnerships and it is worth noting that this cooperation was very professional, fruitful and produced excellent results (one of the previous projects was awarded Best Practice).
The purposeful selection of all project partners tried to balance both economic and geographical levels.
Because the SEE4.0 project is directed to SMEs owners and managers, the consortium is formed of five organisations from this sector: Danmar, Ludor, FyG, MECB and KAINOTOMIA, each having different business focus and thus complementing each other’s skills. In addition the consortium includes academia representative (UPB-CAMIS) to assure proper review and thus quality of the educational materials and Chamber of commerce (HCCI) to assure better connection with SME umbrella organisations able to reach large number of companies through their channels.
