Dear Colleagues,

My Name is Spiros Chioteris and I am a member of the AMI-Communities Site since the summer of 2009. I am very much interested participating at several events and working groups since I totally believe that this is the future in development in all economic sectors. Towards this direction, I found a competition in the following site concerning the SMEs financing at the middle of August. Check link

http://www.changemakers.com/competitions/browse/all

and especially: Check link

It is a very interesting competition which might allow an innovative idea being financed.

The EuroMed Research Business Institute (EMRBI)http://www.emrbi.com/ developed a proposition under the title “Global Financial Living Lab for SMEs” with me as a coordinator  Check link

As you can see in the proposition, several research institutions, universities, research communities and working groups would be needed in order for the idea to be implemented, if of course, it succeeds to be selected for financing.

Any of you (individuals) and your organizations interest participating at that level will be more than welcomed.

We would appreciate it if you could comment on our idea.

By the end of October winners will be announced. If we succeed, the idea will be presented in the Korea G20 summit at the middle of November for financing opportunities.

I believe that the proposed project suits perfectly to the scope of the ami and living lab community The community itself or people involved worldwide could assist this attempt at any level.

Moreover, after the selection procedures held by the judges, there will be an open voting period over the web where everybody will be free to vote on the proposals. Three (3) of the proposals with the maximum votes will again travel to the G20 summit to be presented for financing.

Your support at this voting point period, if you really believe in our proposal, would be more than welcomed.

Finally, I would appreciate it if we could start a discussion on whether this concept could become an ami-community project for development.

We thank you all in advance and looking forward receiving your comments

Kind Regards

Spiros Chioteris
