SME innovation management for better market success

The market success of SMEs is linked to their innovation process and management and their access to finance. The EU-funded ELSE SIM 2020-21 project aims to support SMEs through a number of services involving key account management and enhancement of their innovation management capacity. To this end, the project will assess SME gaps and needs, facilitate the identification of a coach and the preparation of a coaching plan, and provide companies with project management and administration support. Furthermore, it will assess the innovation management capacity of SMEs based on performance and implement an action plan. The project will play a role in furthering European SME success on the market.

innovation management, based on assessment, improvement, planning,
access2finance process and management, based on the SME’s capacity in successfully interfacing with investors (public and private) to attract grants and investment an correctly manage them, and on the Financial Readiness Level, assessed by specific tools and professionals.
