European Partnership on Innovative SMEs

Descrizione del progetto

Aiutare le PMI a raggiungere i mercati internazionali

Le PMI costituiscono un importante fattore per realizzare un’innovazione e una crescita continuative in numerosi settori nell’UE, motivo per cui ricevono finanziamenti e sostegno. Ciononostante, la natura stessa delle PMI ne limita spesso l’espansione a livello transfrontaliero verso i mercati internazionali. Il progetto InnovativeSMEs, finanziato dall’UE e coordinato dall’iniziativa Eureka a Bruxelles, che ha già preso parte ai programmi Eurostars 1 e 2, si propone di invertire questa tendenza. Il progetto combinerà i programmi Eurostars 3 e Innowwide con programmi comunitari precedenti allo scopo di incentivare la cooperazione tra le PMI. L’obiettivo generale del progetto è quello di agevolare la transizione verso i mercati internazionali.

Obiettivo

WHO: The proposal involves 40 National Funding Authorities and/or Agencies under the Umbrella of Eureka and is coordinated by the Eureka Secretariat in Brussels. Founded in 1985, Eureka is a global network, with 48 Member States plus the European Commission. It includes nearly all countries of the European continent as well as international members like Israel, Turkey, Korea, Canada, Singapore, South Africa, Argentina and Chile. The Consortium also benefits from the fact that is has successfully run the Eurostars 1 and 2 programs.

WHAT: The proposed European Partnership on Innovative SMEs will comprise two main instruments (Eurostars 3 and Innowwide) as well as measures to connect to existing EU programs, initiatives and other European partnerships. EUROSTARS 3 (E*3) is an instrument that supports the international cooperation of SMEs in the field of non-military collaborative innovation projects. An E*3 project consortium must be composed of at least 2 independent entities from at least two participating countries and must be led by an innovative SME. The E*3 instrument benefits from accompanying measures that strengthen SMEs’ ability to access foreign markets like the INNOWWIDE instrument, which has already been piloted with the support of some Eureka network members in recent years.

WHY: The biggest challenges for innovative SMEs are the access to international cooperation and to enter international markets as well the ability to receive funding. E*3 through its coordination of national innovation programs will in addition support the further development of a European Research Area.

HOW: The Eureka Secretariat will organize two joint transnational calls per year for E*3 and one call per year for Innowwide. National Innovation Agencies actively support the implementation of E*3 via national funding and support measures as well as services to applicants and promotion of the program.
