Enterprise Europe Network

The Enterprise Europe Network is a key instrument in the EU's strategy to boost growth and jobs. Bringing together more than 580 business support organisations from 47 countries, it helps small companies seize the unparalleled business opportunities in the EU Single Market. More you can find on the official web site.

The Enterprise Europe Network was launched in February 2008 by the Commission’s Directorate-General for Enterprise and Industry. It builds on the former Euro Info Centre (EIC) and Innovation Relay Centre (IRC) Networks, established in 1987 and 1995 respectively. Offering the combined services of these highly successful predecessors, and more, we are a true one-stop shop for small businesses.

You don't know where to start when looking for international partners? Don't have the resources to apply for EU funding? Have no idea who could finance your business? We're there to help. We want to make sure your company benefits from the EU Single Market as much as the big players do. Our experts can help you find international business partners, source new technologies and receive EU funding or finance. And they can advise you on issues as diverse as intellectual property, going international, or EU law and standards.
