Periodic Reporting for period 1 - IRL-SME-Innovation (Establishment of services enhancing the innovation management capacity of SME's through the Enterprise Europe Network in IRELAND)
Periodo di rendicontazione: 2015-01-01 al 2016-12-31
The action context and the objectives are as follows;
WP1 - Key Account Management for the beneficiaries of the SME Instrument.
WP2 - Enhancing SME innovation management capacity for innovating SMEs independently from a specific project.
Enterprise Europe Network Ireland’s KAM activity supported 56 SMEs during the 2015 and 2016 period.
We had no uptake from SMEs regarding EIMC activity despite a letter of invite to take up the offering being sent to several selected companies. Due to the extra KAM activities in relation to the SME Instrument success a decision was made not to engage with the EIMC activity as there was no spare capacity for additional work.
The Work Programme’s implementation has helped meet the needs as outlined in the Implementation Strategy.
