Project description
Innovation and internationalisation of East Poland’s SMEs
Access to European and international markets is vital to ensure the growth of small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) in East Poland and the region in general. To achieve this goal, the enterprises need specific innovation support services that will increase their competitiveness.

First, it will detect weaknesses in innovation management and propose solutions by delivering key account management (KAM) services to SME Instrument beneficiaries. Second, it will help SMEs with the potential for international growth to improve their innovation prospects by delivering services to enhance their innovation management capacity (EIMC).
