Creating a pan-European digital platform and enabling SMEs to raise capital for their development is the main objective of the project supported by the National Recovery Plan (NRP). This is done on the European Blockchain Services Infrastructure (EBSI), a technology that ensures the tracking of transactions in the digital world. Five universities, led by the Czech Technical University in Prague (CTU), 10 partner companies are working on the development and testing of the platform, and more than 210 SMEs across the European Union (EU) have already expressed interest. The platform will help SMEs to simplify access to finance, particularly for their digital and green transition, and offer investors the opportunity to invest securely in these businesses.
