Avances que van más allá del estado de la técnica e impacto potencial esperado (incluida la repercusión socioeconómica y las implicaciones sociales más amplias del proyecto hasta la fecha)

For the KAM services, There is a clear economic impact here that comes from the European Commission financing. In the cases of companies granted with a SME phase II, the budget is huge and may have a very important impact in the company with creation of new jobs and improvement of infrastructures. The KAM service is very helpful for the companies y very much appreciated.
In the case of the EIMC service, the companies accept an action plan to develop. There are regional funding measures that can help these companies to implement these actions. The impact in this case is more difficult to measure, at least at a short term. From a more qualitative point of view, the companies appreciated very much the process of reflection, the analysis of results and the action plan proposed. It is a question of follow-up and signposting to other EEN services.
