The main objective of SUSNET was presenting best practices concerning sustainable collaboration and training partners about how to create effective partnerships that support the achievement of SDGs within sustainable local, national and international networks. For this, the consortium: - Defined sustainable topics, providing a comprehensive panorama of sustainable collaboration. - Provided Best Practices for creating sustainable networks - Improved knowledge about engaging stakeholders in sustainable ways.
The project was applied to promote cooperation between organizations to create networks that help promote sustainability at the local, national and international levels, under UN SDG n17. As business support organisations, and being ourselves small entities built by entrepreneurial minds, partners are aware of the crucial role that SMEs and entrepreneurs have in meeting social and environmental goals, providing jobs, and creating economic and gender equity, involving the local communities in their journey toward sustainability. By extension, we know that these territorial actions are a key to the sustainable development of the EU community. SMEs and entrepreneurs have a huge role in the local development, and they need to be aware of it and apply relevant SDGs on their organization to create sustainable local, national and international networks, and hence successfully protect, restore and promote the availability of resources for future generations.
