Editor's Notes
- How can the European Union help? It represents huge opportunities for entrepreneurs. The European Commission and member states are committed to creating the right conditions for SMEs to not only survive but thrive, even in this economic crisis.
- What’s on offer? Access to a huge single market of 450 million consumers. They can trade freely across borders and set up shop all over Europe.
- European Union finance and funding is available to the tune of around 30 billion euros for SMEs. That includes: Structural funds: 26.4 billion euros for SMEs (out of 338 billion euros) 7th RTD Framework Programme: 6.1 billion euros Competitiveness and Innovation Framework Programme: 2.1 billion euros
- We help with questions like these every day! The Network provides information on EU legislation and funding, helps companies find business partners, especially in other countries, and offers advice on how to develop an innovative idea. The Network can also help to maximise your chances of success when you’re tendering for EU contracts or funding. The Network has access to two powerful databases to help companies: one for business partnerships and one for technology transfer. Company profiles and offers are inserted into the databases and are then made available to the whole Network. Partners use the databases to search for the right match for their clients and then help them to reach partnership or technology transfer agreements. The databases now contain around 7,000 profiles. They are updated on a weekly basis and the technology and partnership offers are communicated to SMEs through newsletters, media advertising and websites.
- But it’s not easy to take advantage of these opportunites. There are many obstacles. It’s not easy for small companies to: navigate the maze of European and national legislation…. overcome language barriers to find new markets and partners abroad recognise the innovation potential in their businesses and profit from their ideas be able to find and secure European financing, grants and funding Where can they turn?
- The Network’s resources are formidable. It’s made up of 570 partner organisations in 44 countries. The partner organisations include chambers of commerce, enterprise agencies, regional development organisations, research institutes, universities, technology centres and innovation centres. 3,000 experts work in the Network. The Network’s power lies in connecting all of these people and organisations - all at the service of European small businesses.
