The Enterprise Europe Network (EEN) is the world’s largest support network helping small and medium-sized businesses (SMEs) grow internationally.
It connects 569 organisations, including chambers of commerce, research institutes, and innovation centres, active in 56 countries.
The Enterprise Europe Network provides hands-on support in four key areas:
• Information & Advisory Services
EEN provides tailored guidance on how to manage EU regulation, industry standards, intellectual property, and doing business across borders.
Their local experts help businesses navigate compliance with significant regulations across the EU Single Market.
• Innovation Support
Whether you're developing a new product or improving internal processes, EEN offers guidance on funding,
managing innovation, and turning ideas into commercial successes.
• International Growth
Thinking of expanding into a new market? EEN can provide you with the insights, tools, and expertise to help you expand abroad, both securely and strategically.
• Finding Partners
Through its extensive international network and powerful online tools, EEN connects businesses with the
right partners for technology transfer, R&D collaboration, and commercial opportunities.
Localized expertise, global reach
EEN advisers are based regionally and well-connected internationally, offering personalized support without losing sight of global opportunities.
Wide-ranging sectors
Supported industries span from renewable energy and agri-food to healthcare, digitalisation, and social enterprises.
Publicly co-funded
EEN is supported by the European Union through the Single Market Programme (formerly COSME) and Horizon Europe,
with additional contributions from national and regional partners.
