The European Innovation Council and SMEs Executive Agency (EISMEA) has just published the call for expressions of interest to relaunch the Enterprise Europe Network under the Single Market Programme.
We are now looking for applications from leading international business support organisations to join the Enterprise Europe Network from 1 January 2022 to 30 June 2025 as 'International Network Partners'. These will take the place of the current Business Cooperation Centres under the current Network.
Becoming an International Network Partner will offer your organisation the opportunity to:
- establish a preferential relationship with Europe’s leading business support organisations and approximately 3,000 experienced business advisers
- connect your business clients with European companies who are, in many cases, market leaders in their industries, e.g., environmental technologies, agri-food, automotive, machinery or textiles & fashion. These highly innovative European companies are keen to find reliable business partners abroad.

Download all documents necessary to submit an application from the EISMEA webpage.

A document with the most frequently asked questions (FAQ) on the call is also updated regularly.
