Engaging SMEs with IST related European Technology Platforms

Objectif

EPISTEP will enable SMEs participation in the FP6 and FP7 according to the Economic and Technological Intelligence guidelines with the goal to explore how to enhance their presence in the three IST European Technology Platforms (ETP), namely mobile communications, embedded systems and nano-electronics. This objective will be realised through two different paths, viz a web based portal to facilitate the exchange and sharing of information as well as contacts among SMEs operating in these three areas and organisation of missions, brokerage events, workshops and technical assistance. Main activities are :
1 Establish formal cooperation agreements with each of three ETPs.
2 Identify and contact of SMEs operating in the market sectors of mobile communications, embedded systems and nano-electronics
3 Raise awareness of SMEs of their specific interests and capabilities of operating in the IST ETPs
4 Appraisal of the capability of SMEs to successfully operate in this evolving market sector
5 Provide an ongoing interface with the three IST ETPs by establishing an open, broad third tier cooperation framework to provide two way access between the platforms and the broader related SME population
6 Identify IST ETP projects and calls for proposals of interest to the identified SMEs
7 Identify roles SMEs can play in IST ETPs
8 Realise a web portal to facilitate and optimise support and dissemination activities
9 Awareness and training of SMEs through the organisation of national workshops and training sessions
10 Engage SMEs with ETPs by taking them on missions to meet platform members
11 Organise trans-national brokerage events and other partner-search activities
12 Technical assistance and help desk for SMEs in the proposal and contract preparation phases
13 Ongoing dissemination and exploitation activities
