The DRIVE INML project
DRIVE INML is a European project within the Interreg POCTEFA Programme designed to “Improve the competitiveness of companies located in cross-border areas through international niche market leadership”.
The purpose of POCTEFA is to strengthen the economic and social integration of the Spain-France-Andorra border area. It focuses on the development of cross-border economic, social and environmental activities through joint strategies for a sustainable territorial development.
The DRIVE INML Project aims to identify companies that are “hidden champions”, or in other words, companies that are leaders of their market niche but aren’t focused on international markets despite having great potential. There is currently no specific aid for these companies, therefore the project will develop a new cross-border service aimed at this type of companies and focused on training, promoting and internationalizing them.
This service will make it easier for companies to connect with collaborators that can result in commercial agreements and improve their competitiveness. DRIVE INML will take place between 1 January 2020 and 30 April 2022.
