Sintesi del contesto e degli obiettivi generali del progetto

The H2020 project has two main specific objectives i.e. continuing the EEN services for the enhancement of the innovation capacity of SMEs in Flanders and the Key Account Management for the beneficiaries of the SME Instrument in Flanders. As was already the case, particular attention is given to the integrated management of these two services and the organisation of smart signposting of clients within the VEBIN consortium in charge of the overall activities of EEN in Flanders, including the interaction with the NCPs for H2020 in Flanders, more specifically the NCP for SMEs and the NCP for Access to Finance. Also important is the interaction with the local support ecosystem for SMEs in Flanders, and in particular the innovation support services that operate in the region of Flanders, as well as the access to finance support services.

Special attention is also given to embedding the project activities in the overall framework of activities of the Flemish consortium of the Enterprise Europe network (VEBIN). In that way we secure that H2020 clients of the SME instrument get also familiar with the other services of EEN: there is a continuous interaction between the team in charge of KAM and EIMC services and the account management of EEN so as to discover synergies and new opportunities for the Flemish SME clients

Progressi oltre lo stato dell’arte e potenziale impatto previsto (incluso l’impatto socioeconomico e le implicazioni sociali più ampie del progetto fino ad ora)

The role of EEN in the H2020 EIC accelerator and in the EIC as a whole is fully recognised in FLanders by stakeholders and SME clients, in close cooperation with the NCPs. Further cooperation to the benefit of our SME clients is also set up with ERA-Nets, Eurostars, and Eureka, ….

The economic impact of these cases start to become visible. Clients are constantly followed up so that we can keep track of the impact of our services. A survey among the clients learned that many improved their internal management, hired new staff, enhanced their market share in and outside the EU and improved their business model.
