Project description
Innovation services for French SMEs
Improving the innovation management capacity of small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) in the different regions of the EU is essential for the innovation-driven competitiveness and sustainable growth of the European economy. The EU-funded AURASME4 project is part of the COSME EURORAA Consortium, based in the Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes region of France, which aims to support SMEs with a low capacity for innovation management. The project will implement two specific service packages targeting the needs of two different groups of companies. It will deliver key account management (KAM) services to SMEs that are beneficiaries of the H2020 EIC Pilot and enhancing innovation management capacity (EIMC) services to SMEs that demonstrate a strong potential to penetrate foreign markets.
