The Paphos Chamber of Commerce and Industry (Evep) has teamed up with the European Affairs Unit, allowing them to jointly participate in the Green Synergy programme, which is supported by the European Union’s Erasmus+ programme.
This initiative is expected to foster environmental sustainability and spur economic growth in the Paphos business community.
According to an Evep announcement, the programme has already facilitated training over 250 individuals from both established businesses and start-ups.
The primary objective of the initiative is to bolster businesses, empowering them to reclaim their market position and broaden their influence.
“This initiative comes at a critical juncture when businesses are facing the challenges posed by evolving market dynamics and the imperative to adopt sustainable practices,” the chamber said in a statement.
Furthermore, the announcement pointed out that the programme provides complimentary training opportunities, thereby ensuring that “entities with limited resources can benefit from the expertise and knowledge needed to grow”.
Through its specialised training modules, the programme equips participants with the essential knowledge and skills required to navigate the complexities of today’s business environment, whilst adhering to the principles of a green transition.
Moreover, by cultivating a community of like-minded individuals and businesses, the Green Synergy programme encourages collaboration and the sharing of knowledge.
“By arming businesses with the necessary tools and expertise to embrace sustainability while maintaining their competitiveness, this initiative is paving the way for a greener and more prosperous future for European businesses,” concluded the statement.
