• Business support providers must ensure that their
  services are as accessible as possible to
  disadvantaged communities. To achieve this,
  delivering business support through local
  intermediaries that already have links with local
  communities (such as schools and religious
  centres) can be effective. This is often called
  the outreach model of business support service
  delivery. From your point of view how is this
  model transferable to the Czech environment?
• How do you think we could overcome the issues
  presented in both pilot projects (ex lack of
  information, lack of motivation, lack of
  appropriate local partnership, etc) in order to
  improve the delivery of such projects supporting
  entrepreneurship amongst disadvantaged groups?

• Co-operation among different stakeholders has
  been the key to success of many of the
  initiatives reviewed as part of LNet and of the
  resource centre in Milan. Partnership working can
  help break down barriers and pre-conceived ideas
  about working in the field of business support.
  How could you promote partnership working between
  the public, private and voluntary sectors to
  ensure effective delivery of similar projects as
  presented today?
• What are the barriers to develop a similar
  project in the region you work in?
