“PUM has contributed to one or more changes in knowledge and business practices for 90% of the businesses they support.” This is one of the findings emerging from a four-year research partnership between Wageningen Economic Research and the Erasmus School of Economics. Labeled “PRIME” (Pioneering Real‐time Impact Monitoring and Evaluation), they assessed the impact of PUM and CBI support to SMEs, based on data collected over the period between 2014 and 2017. The results are now presented.
