Enisie aimed at providing immediate support in the post emergency COVID-19. The specific intent is to provide support, which can greatly help cover widespread needs as much as the recovery of economies in a new cross-border perspective through two strands of intervention.

A prevalent part, consisting of accompanying services that will guarantee both the restoration of the business plan and the identification of the needs of the entities and companies within their reference sectors.

A residual part represented by measures of direct and rapid support to companies and entities, through the provision of funds for a quick-impact project and small-scale project directly provided by the ENISIE project partners and aimed at covering the immediate needs of supplies and services to allow companies to overcome the crisis.

Actions are addressed to key sectors in mitigating damage due to the COVID crisis:

The HEALTH sector deals with the fundamental services to the person and social services, also linked to the new poverty and new phenomena of social exclusion deriving from the COVID crisis

The FOOD sector that remained stable during the lockdown phase discovering new potentiality, linked to the direct and local distribution chains, to a rethinking the short supply chain and a renewed awareness of the digitization of transactions

The TOURISM sector, which is suffering from the pandemic consequences, needs more than other sectors specific services to redesign their business plan in order to resist and regenerate its own value proposition, including a partial or total transition to other tertiary sectors

Outputs foreseen are:

Post-COVID Help-desk, for the recovery or start-up of entities (profit or non-profit)

+100 companies or entities (or aspiring ones) involved in a process of accompanying and cross-border co-design for the reorganization of its services in a post COVID perspective

+50 companies or entities (actual or potential) benefiting from additional support for the creation of a "Post-COVID blueprint", or the joint definition of a path of restructuring and relaunching activities.

Effective delivery of "quick impact service", that is innovative services more appropriate in the post COVID perspective, to +30 organizations (profit and non-profit)
