Plato
Plato
is a business support network for owner/managers. The mission of Plato is
to promote development of indigenous SME's; to provide a safe and confidential
forum for owner/managers to develop their business and management skills; to
facilitate sharing of experiences and resources among owner/managers; and to
encourage business networking among members. Plato is part of a Europe
wide network of over 80,000 SME's and 500 parent companies. It has a
unique partnership with large parent companies in the region which provide SME
owner/managers with facilitated group learning, specialist expertise and advice,
networking opportunities and business development training. Parent
companies also provide their premises for meetings and of course allow SME's
access to wider management expertise and one-to-one support for owner/manager
within these large companies.
Membership of Plato is normally open to companies in all areas of
commercial activity and member companies usually employ two and fifty employees.
Typically, Plato is suitable for post start up phase of companies' development
and therefore, businesses should be four years in existence to qualify.
Long term network support is also available. It is important that
companies who are applying for Plato membership are willing to participate in an
active way, wish to develop their management skills and expertise, want to share
with other owner/manager the problems in tackling the usual SME issues and
require help in facing the challenges associated with business development.
