Descripción del proyecto
Apoyo a la gestión de la innovación de las pymes griegas
Para las pymes, la innovación puede llevar a una mayor productividad, mientras que la digitalización ofrece nuevas oportunidades. No obstante, la mayor parte de las pymes se queda atrás en lo referente a capacidad y gestión en el ámbito de la innovación. El proyecto Enhancement SGA4, financiado con fondos europeos, ayudará a las pymes griegas a satisfacer sus ambiciones internacionales mediante la mejora de su capacidad de innovación y sus habilidades en gestión de cuentas clave. La Red Europea para las Empresas Hellas está formada por doce organizaciones relevantes de apoyo empresarial, importantes agentes en el ámbito de la innovación, asociaciones industriales y cámaras de comercio. El consorcio ayudará a las pymes a identificar sus brechas en la gestión de la innovación y a crear las estrategias correspondientes, utilizar oportunidades procedentes de los planes piloto del Consejo Europeo de Innovación —los programas Instrumento PYME (SMEI, por sus siglas en inglés), Fast Track to Innovation (FTI) y Future and Emerging Technologies (FET Open)— y ofrecerá apoyo personalizado sobre gestión de la innovación.
Objetivo
Innovation is key to boost productivity and has a role to play in the economic success of the era of new technologies (The Global Competitiveness Report 2018, WEF), while digitisation offers SMEs new opportunities to take part in the next production revolution (OECD SME and Entrepreneurship Outlook 2019). However, SMEs can lag behind in innovation capacity and innovation management capacity skills compared to large companies.
Enterprise Europe Network-Hellas consists of 12 major business support organisations - key innovation players, industrial associations and innovation support organisations, as well as chambers of commerce and industry - creating a country-wide network. This network serves as a key facilitator in enhancing the competitiveness, innovation capacity and growth potential of Greek SMEs.
The overall goal of the proposed action is to enhance the innovation capacities of Greek SMEs with international ambitions enabling their business growth and boosting their competitiveness in the Single Market and beyond.
More specifically, the proposed action aims to:
• Assist SMEs in identifying and addressing innovation management gaps and developing respective strategies;
• Support SMEs to utilize the opportunities offered under the EIC Pilot Schemes -SME Instrument(SMEI), Fast Track to Innovation (FTI) and Future and Emerging Technologies (FET Open) programmes- as a tool for bridging the gap between research, innovation and market;
• Identify SMEs with the capacity to innovate and internationalise and provide them with tailored services;
• Offer targeted assistance on innovation management that, compared to large companies, have limited capacity for R&D activities and consulting services;
• Support business innovators to translate their ideas into market success, fostering their innovation potential;
• Empower SMEs to unlock their growth potential by better managing more effectively and efficiently their innovation processes.
