Project description
Danish SMEs turn to innovation
The Enterprise Europe Network (EEN) is a key support network that assists small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) in their innovation process and development on an international scale. Danish SMEs are particularly successful in internationalisation and technological innovation and the Danish EEN has an average of almost six times the network average in Partnership Agreements per FTE. The EU-funded INNODK IV project will provide Danish businesses with services related to two categories for the period 2020-2021. Key account management (KAM) will be provided to companies that have been awarded grants under SME Instrument, Future Emerging Technologies (FET) or Fast Track to Innovation (FTI) projects. Enhancing innovation management capacity (EIMC) services will be offered to SMEs assessed through the Innovation Health Check instrument and other approved tools.
Objective
"The objectives of the InnoDK IV project are to:
• Provide Key Account Management (KAM) services to Danish businesses, which have been awarded grants under the SME Instrument, Future Emerging Technologies or Fast Track to Innovation programmes
• Provide Enhancing Innovation Management Capacity (EIMC) services to SMEs in 2019. Companies will be assessed via the Innovation Health Check tools or other approved tools and depending on results, referred on to relevant organisations in the Danish and European innovation eco-system.
In total, under both categories 170 service packages will be carried out. The figure is based on an average of 70 KAM packages coming through EIC programmes, and 100 EIMC cases carried out. If a larger number of grants from EIC are given to Danish participants, the packages will be adjusted accordingly.
The Danish EEN has consistently been one of the absolute top performers across the board, with a strong focus on creating impact for client companies. The network ranks overall #1 in number of Partnership Agreements per FTE during the current period, including #1 for PA Research and #1 for PA Technology. Figures from the EASME in 2019 show that the Danish EEN has an average of nearly six times the network average in PA/FTE, while still adhering to the highest standards. Furthermore, the network has an active policy of counting and demonstrating direct impact on behalf of clients and making this information available to national stakeholders every year. This approach will be maintained by the organisations and staff members involved in the Innovation Denmark 2020-2021 project.
