This project covers Bauska and Rundale counties in Latvia and Pakruojis, Pasvalys and Birzai districts in Lithuania. The project focuses on a number of problems that currently are common to Latvia and Lithuania, namely: lack of sustainable business ideas, lack of effective business promotion instruments for municipalities and concentration of business supporting measures and services in urban areas. We have chosen public libraries as a central point for project activities and a main supporing instrument for promotion of entrepreneurship. Objective of the project is to promote competitive entrepreneurship in cross border of Latvia and Lithuania providing easy access to the business supporting measures at rural territories. The direct objectives are: 1) To establish a cross border network of business support libraries (BSL) as business resource centers on basis of existing network of public libraries; 2) To facilitate physical and virtual access to established resource centers; and 3) To promote entrepreneurship mentality in the region via complex entrepreneurship promotion activities for local youth, potential entrepreneurs and existing SMEs. Objectives will be achieved through three work packages: WP 1: Management and coordination of the project; WP 2 Establishment of business support library network and WP3 Investments. The Lead Partner is Bauska local municipality council, partners are bordering district municipalities from Pakruojis, Pasvalys, Biržai (Lithuania) and Rundale (Latvia). NGO Business club Bauska 97 will participate as associated partner. The choice of the partners is based on the long lasting cooperation ties, each partners specific experience in different fields and lack of resources to provide business supporting services locally. Through project Partners will establish a strong network where each partner's experience, information and knowledge is important for other partners and for potential users of BSL services. Project has three main target groups: 1) the school youth aged 13 to 19, 2) potential entrepreneurs including wide range of population, and 3) business start-ups and existing businesses. The following outcomes are expected: In total 5 business support libraries will be established during the project (one in each municipality) and other 118 libraries will serve as supporting and connecting points to BSL resources. Each BSL also will include “one stop shop” for entrepreneurs where at least 25 municipal e-services will be provided. Through this project around 500 school youth will take part in the local business idea contests, 25 local contest winners will attend the business summer school, approx 200 potential entrepreneurs participate in different activities, and around 400 existing SMEs participate in 4 local business fairs, open days, discussions and in final conference. 5 BSL venues will be renovated and equipped.
