Fortschritte, die über den aktuellen Stand der Technik hinausgehen und voraussichtliche potenzielle Auswirkungen (einschließlich der bis dato erzielten sozioökonomischen Auswirkungen und weiter gefassten gesellschaftlichen Auswirkungen des Projekts)

The Impact of the action in terms of the service packages delivered can be generally described as follows:

- for the service package on “Key account management” for the beneficiaries of the SME instrument a general positive impact can be describes, taking into account the fact that the during the SGA2, PROSME consortium delivered 1 KAM service for the first successful Phase 1 SME Instrument project/company in RO3 region. The company is active within the Software & IT Services market and the main goal of the project “A 2nd screen mobile application solution providing interactive multi player game and real-time voting capabilities, based on TV content, to better engage TV audiences and sports fans. - TELLY” aimed to combine traditional TV shows with, mainly mobile social and game application.
Although at the end of 2017, PROSME Consortium received EASME information about opening of the KAM services of the Enterprise Europe Network and the business coaching in the SME Instrument which should affect positively PROSME results for delivering KAM services, during 2018, there was no company identified in our RO3 geographic region that received funding through the FTI and FET-Open programmes;

- for the service package on “Enhancing SME innovation management capacity” a general positive impact may be described, directly for the competitiveness and specific managerial and consulting knowledge of the actors involved, client companies as well as PROSME consultant, and indirectly for the RO3 SMEs, as potential beneficiaries of EEN PROSME services.In order to achieve these results the following activities were carried-out: innovation management assessment and bench marking exercises followed by action plans development and implementation with a view to improve innovation activities and innovation management performance of the client SME.
Moreover, after analizing the plotted data, we can concluded that the sample size (44 subjects) is too small in order to compute indicators with statistical significance but the simple plot of data might be a starting point for further investigation.
