INNOVACTIS 2019

Project description

Innovation management services for Spanish SMEs

The ACTIS consortium in Spain offers Enterprise Europe Network innovation management services and support to SMEs in five Autonomous Communities: Aragón, Castilla-La Mancha, Extremadura, La Rioja, and Navarre. The EU-funded INNOVACTIS 2019 project will provide innovation support services to two groups of SMEs. For the first group, SMEs that have been selected as beneficiaries of Horizon 2020’s SME Instrument, Future and Emerging Technologies - Open , and/or Fast Track to Innovation funding schemes, the consortium will provide key account management services. The project will help SMEs identify weaknesses in their innovation capacities and appropriate external coaches. In the second group, SMEs that have a high potential for growth and internationalisation but have gaps in innovation management, the consortium will deliver direct assessment services.

Objective

The objective of this project is to provide innovation support services in 2019 to SMEs in the regions covered by the consortium members. These innovation support services will be differentiated for two groups of SMEs:
a) SMEs that have been selected as beneficiaries of the SME Instrument (Phase 1 or Phase 2), FTI or FET-Open funding schemes. For these companies, the consortium members will offer Key Account Management (KAM) services, which are accompanying services for the SMEs to identify weaknesses in their innovation capacities and suitable external coaches throughout their participation in the SME instrument.
b) SMEs that have high potential for growth and internationalisation but that need to improve their innovation management capacities. These companies will receive direct assessment services from the consortium members in order to detect barriers and develop and implement an action plan in order to enhance such capacities and overcome the detected barriers.
