The Enterprise Europe Network (http://een.ec.europa.eu/) is a European Union initiative aimed at providing business and innovation support to small and medium sized enterprises (SMEs) in Europe and beyond.

To date, the Enterprise Europe Network is made up of close to 600 partner organizations in 54 countries.

Based on the principle “Think small first” and the “no wrong door” concept, the Enterprise Europe Network offers easy access and proximity to local services for SMEs, thus creating regional business gateways. Worldwide, the consortia cooperate to create a coherent support structure for local.

In Portugal, the Enterprise Europe Network is represented by a Consortium (Please click here for full details), coordinated by IAPMEI. The Consortium covering all the country has a wide set of competences, skills and experience in innovation and support services for SMEs.
