Project description
Towards enhanced innovation management in SMEs on the Canary Islands
Innovation is key to economic growth. However, many SMEs lack the capacity to manage their innovation processes. Building on preceding relevant projects, the EU-funded E3Canarias 2020-2021 project aims to address this issue by providing services aimed at enhancing the innovation management capacity of SMEs on the Canary Islands. To this end, it will deliver service packages to the most innovative SMEs on the islands and additional support to other beneficiaries. Mentoring will be provided to an average of 21 companies. These services will help to increase the competitiveness and profitability of the region’s SMEs.
