Descrizione del progetto
Rafforzare la crescita delle PMI in Europa
Negli ultimi anni, la rete Enterprise Europe (EEN) ha aperto la strada a una nuova generazione di PMI europee resilienti e innovative. Purtroppo, molte PMI sono state frenate dall’assenza di capacità di gestione dell’innovazione. Si tratta di un ostacolo talmente grande da essere considerato secondo solo alla mancanza di risorse finanziarie. In questo contesto, il progetto INNOVACCION, finanziato dall’UE, fornirà una serie di servizi per migliorare la gestione dell’innovazione delle PMI europee. A tal fine, prevede di utilizzare l’esperienza che IVACE e INFO MURCIA, membri dell’EEN-SEIMED, hanno maturato in anni di assistenza alla crescita delle PMI.
