Descrizione del progetto
Rafforzare le PMI greche attraverso il sostegno personalizzato all’innovazione
L’UE ha sostenuto a lungo la necessità di imprenditorialità orientata all’innovazione, nel tentativo di favorirne competitività e crescita. Il progetto Enhancement SGA3, finanziato dall’UE, intende sostenere le PMI a innovare, digitalizzare e internazionalizzare il loro potenziale, dotandole di servizi su misura per potenziarne le capacità di gestione dei processi di innovazione. Inoltre, il progetto si propone di utilizzare le opportunità offerte nell’ambito dei programmi per le PMI per sostenere gli innovatori imprenditoriali con ambizioni internazionali a tradurre le proprie idee in un successo commerciale. Infine, Enhancement SGA3 si adopererà per favorire il potenziale innovativo delle PMI con una capacità limitata per la ricerca caratterizzata da costi e rischi elevati, per le attività di sviluppo e i servizi di consulenza.
Obiettivo
The need for supporting innovation-driven entrepreneurship in Europe as a vehicle for boosting its competitiveness and growth has been evidenced and adopted as one of the key targets and priorities of EU policy and initiatives (The Global Competitiveness Report 2013-2014, 2014, WEF). Empirical analysis shows that innovation, can account for a substantial share of economic growth – often around 50% of total GDP growth – depending on various factors (OECD STI Policy 2015).
Innovative SMEs have been already identified as one of the groups which EU funding tools should support, however the majority of EU SMEs still lag behind in innovation capacity and innovation management capacity skills. As expected, the above hold true for Greek SMEs. The 2017 SBA Fact Sheet clearly shows Greek SMEs score below the EU28 average in their capacity to convert new-to-market and new-to-firm innovations into sales. At the same time, Greek SMEs introducing product or process innovations score higher than the EU average.
Under this frame, the Enterprise Europe Network-Hellas (FPA 649598), a well-placed and experienced network of experts and organisations, working in close proximity to Greek SMEs, will advance its support to the innovative companies by providing complementary services for the enhancement of their innovation management capacity.
The proposed action aims to:
• Identify SMEs with the capacity to innovate and internationalise, provide them with the tailored services to improve their capacity to manage innovation processes
• Support SMEs to utilize the opportunities offered under the SME Instrument, Fast Track to Innovation and Future Emerging Technologies OPEN programmes
• Support business innovators with international ambitions to translate their ideas into market success
• Foster the innovation potential of SMEs that, compared to large companies, have limited capacity for risky/costly R&D activities and consulting services
• Offer targeted assistance on innovation managemen
