SEBC (Syrian Enterprise and Business Centre) is a world class organization that is designed to support the Syrian economy by serving as an implementation agency for projects aimed at developing the private sector in general, and SME support & development in particular. In other words, SEBC is the catalyst institution for private sector development and growth in Syria. 

Vision

Syrian Enterprise & Business Center's vision is:

"To be the driving force, and an innovative leader, for the Syrian business community in its bid to compete successfully in the global marketplace.

We believe that our independence and professionalism will help us to become the first port of call for Syrian private sector businesses wishing to grow, to operate with international standards, and to develop export markets.  

We can influence and accelerate the transition of the Syrian business environment to one that is more supportive of private sector business, and to one that becomes enabling rather than controlling.  

If we do this, we will allow Syrians to build a more prosperous and equitable society through the freedom to capitalise on their natural entrepreneurial ability".

It is SEBC's first project under implementation, started in September 2006 and ends in February 2010, with a total EC funding of Euro 15m.

The principal objective of this Programme is to help SEBC achieve sustainability as a National Institution providing a full range of services to the private sector and the Government.

SSP focuses on six key areas:

• The Efficiency and Competitiveness of SMEs are Improved
• Local Consultancy Business Development Services are Enhanced
• Access to and Choice of Medium and Long-Term Finance for SMEs Facilitated
• Access to Information on Export Market Opportunities Facilitated
• Strengthened SME Support Institution
• Policies to Strengthen and Support the Private Sector Formulated  

For Better Quality Syrian Products – Programme for Strengthening Quality Management, Capabilities and Infrastructures in Syria

"Strengthening Quality Management, Capabilities and Infrastructures in Syria" is an EU-funded programme to be implemented by IPS Consultancy Ltd on behalf of the Ministry of Industry and hosted by the Syrian Enterprise and Business Centre (SEBC).

The 12 million Euro programme, with an implementation period of 4 years, will support Syria to raise its quality legislation and institutions to best international standards. This should result in enhanced quality of Syrian goods and services, better Syrian consumer protection and increased competitiveness of Syrian products in international markets.
