TIMELINE

GSEVEE Small Enterprises’ Institute is founded in December upon the initiative of its Administrative Council and its President Mr Dimitris Asimakopoulos. At the same time, its first educational work is being planned.

IME GSEVEE is relocated to a new privately-owned building, located at 46, Aristotelous Street, designed by the celebrated architect Mr Kyriakos Kyriakides. At the same time, IME GSEVEE proceeds with the recruitment of high-level scientific staff.

The Economic Climate Survey in Small Enterprises is conducted and presented for the first time. To this day, the survey is carried out on biannual basis throughout Greece, reflecting the trends in the small and medium-sized enterprises’ economic environment.

IME GSEVEE’s activity scales up through the operation of branches in Thessaloniki, Ioannina, Larissa, Patra, and Heraklion, with the objective to support GSEVEE’s member federations and strengthen small enterprises and their human resources in the regions.

Small enterprises’ support mechanisms and units are developed through the operation of IME GSEVEE entrepreneurship network, innovation and clusters unit, and Equality Office. The Institute fosters its presence in the training and lifelong learning field, leading an association of Social Partners’ bodies aiming at the implementation of upskilling for employees and self-employed which has been included in European Social Fund’s good practices.

The new administrative council of GSEVEE and IME GSEVEE is elected, and Mr Georgios Kavvathas takes over the position of the president for the new term. IME GSEVEE gets certified with the Quality Management System in accordance with the standard ISO 9001:2008.

It contributes to enhancing Social Dialogue in Greece through the cooperation with National Social Partners’ Institutes and the International Labour Organization (ILO).

IME GSEVEE takes over the leading role in a joint action by Social Partners’ Institutes on skills, contributing to the creation of the National Labour Market Diagnosis System. The same year saw the successful completion of the 2007-2013 NSRF projects, which led to the support of more than 2,500 enterprises, 52 GSEVEE federations, the development of 11 clusters, the elaboration of more than 65 studies, surveys, and educational materials, and the implementation of more than 800 seminars with 20,000 participants.
