Descripción del proyecto
Apoyo a la innovación para pymes en Alemania
La competitividad de la economía europea depende de las pequeñas y medianas empresas (pymes). Como columna vertebral de la economía europea, es fundamental que las pymes evolucionen y lleven su negocio al siguiente nivel. El empleo, la prosperidad y la calidad de vida general y del medio ambiente dependen directamente de la capacidad de innovación de las regiones y las empresas. Con este fin, el objetivo del proyecto financiado con fondos europeos Innovation.NRW es apoyar a las pymes de Renania del Norte-Westfalia en el ámbito de la innovación y fomentar las condiciones que permitan que estas innovaciones evolucionen y se gestionen satisfactoriamente. Para ello, la Comisión Europea ha promovido desde 2008 la Red Europea para las Empresas en aras de brindar apoyo local sobre todo a las pymes en las áreas de internacionalización, transferencia de tecnología y, en general, en la realización de innovaciones.
Objetivo
Innovations and thus also the management of innovations are of great significance for the competitiveness of the European Union, its Member States and their regions. Innovative individuals or enterprises do something which cannot be expected from the state of the art. They put innovations into practice – generally in the face of considerable resistance – and take financial, technical as well as social risks. Only in this way, however, can new technologies, processes, products or services assert themselves and future markets evolve. Employment, prosperity and the general quality of life and of the environment are directly dependent on the innovation capacity of regions and enterprises. Due to this interrelationship, the European Commission has promoted the Enterprise Europe Network since 2008 in order to provide local support above all to SMEs in the areas of internationalization, technology transfer and generally in the realization of innovations. One of the Network’s tasks is to raise the effectiveness and efficiency of innovation management in SMEs in order to accelerate the implementation of economically impactful innovations.
Supporting SMEs in the area of innovation is a core task and the mission of ZENIT, coordinator of NRW.Europa the Enterprise Europe Network node in North Rhine-Westphalia in the project Innovation.NRW. Whilst innovations naturally cannot be forecasted, they can, however, evolve under the right conditions and be successfully managed. Our understanding of innovation and innovation management is oriented at business opportunities. As a consequence, ZENIT is pursuing the different objectives in the Innovation.NRW project to maintain and expand the innovation capacity and competitiveness of the participating SMEs.
In addition, ZENIT supports the beneficiaries of the EIC Pilot from NRW in the Innovation.NRW project.
