The goal of the project SME Aisle was to support the exports of Estonian, Finnish, Latvian and Swedish companies on the fields of shipbuilding, maritime, logistics, renewable energy, automation and information communication technology to Southern African markets, especially having a focus on Namibian, South African and Zambian markets.
