MOBILE WORLD CONGRESS 25-28 FEBRUARY 2013. BARCELONA, SPAIN
WHAT IS THE AL-INVEST IV PROGRAMME? The AL-INVEST Program is one of the most important Regional Economic Cooperation Programs of the European Commission in Latin America. The Program is based on the shared values and common strategic interests that exist between the European Union and Latin America. But it also exists because the European Union is an important political, economic, commercial and financial partner for Latin America. The AL-INVEST Program is part of the development Policy of the European Union, established under the European Consensus on Development, and is based on the objectives of: poverty reduction; sustainable economic and social development; and the progressive and harmonious integration of developing countries into the world economy. AL-INVEST is a pioneering Programme of the European Commission that began its activities in 1994, with a pilot phase, at the time in which market liberalisation policies were beginning to facilitate international trade expansion. So far there have been three phases: Phase I (1995-1999), Phase II (2000-2004), and Phase III (2004-2008). Phase IV of this Program began in January 2009.
OBJECTIVES The general aim of phase IV of the AL-INVEST program is to contribute to the social cohesion, through support to the strengthening and internationalisation of Latin American Small and Medium Sized Enterprises (SMEs), and the exchange of innovations, knowledge and economic relations with their European counterpart companies. More specifically, this Program wants to contribute to Latin American SMEs becoming the local development engine, taking advantage of: globalisation opportunities; regional integration; commercial agreements; and business cooperation with Europe.
