HelpEmpresa is a good practice put in place in Catalonia of the Early Warning Europe Project (EWE). EWE is a project whose main objective is to create a European legal framework to help companies at risk of failing, providing free, impartial and confidential assessments. EWE builds new best practice and draws on existing experience from Early Warning Denmark, TEAM U in Germany and Dyzo in Belgium showing that free and impartial guidance for companies in distress has a positive impact - not only on the survival chances and financial performance of the companies, but also on society.
The implementation of Early Warning mechanisms across Europe uses and develops European best practice, and will help save jobs, promote growth and improve public finances.
