Enterprise Europe Network
Launched in February 2008 by the European Commission, the Enterprise Europe Network combines and builds on the former Innovation Relay Centres and Euro Info Centres and offers its support especially to small and medium enterprises (SMEs) in Europe. All activities of the network aim at promoting innovation and competitiveness in Europe. The services offered by the 500 partner organisations in nearly 40 European and non-European countries include partner searches for technology and business cooperation, technology audits, ad-vice on European regulations, current programmes and funding opportunities.
The partnering events organised by the network, such as Future Match, have proven to be a successful instrument for mediating international cooperation. They take place mostly at international fairs and offer exhibitors and visitors the chance to easily establish valuable contacts Europe wide.
