This project aims to support SMEs and startups with growth potential and the capacity to face the challenges of the green and digital transition in a competitive and dynamic environment.
The main objective of the EEN is to help Portuguese companies become more innovative and competitive by offering strategic information and support services that allow them to grow in the international market.
In Portugal, the EEN consortium is led by IAPMEI and includes important partners such as ACIF, ANI, AEP, AIDA CCI, AIP, CEC, CCIPD, INESC TEC, and LNEG.For more information, visit the network’s portal: Enterprise Europe Network | Enterprise Europe Network
