EU Funding Opportunities

Access to EU-Funding

The Enterprise Europe Network is an initiative of the European Commission that supports small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and start-ups in implementing their research, innovation and business projects. The services offered by the Enterprise Europe Network range from basic research to manufacturing and introducing products to market. The Enterprise Europe Network follows the ‘one-stop shop’ principle. Companies should be able to quickly and easily obtain information on all EU-related topics relevant to SMEs and find the right contact person.

Our advisory services for SMEs & Start-ups:

Identifying the most suitable funding programme

Which funding programme is best suited to my project? Our experts are best placed to assess your project idea and help you find the right funding programme. We provide advice on EU programmes under Horizon Europe, such as the European Innovation Council (EIC) Accelerator and Horizon Europe Collaborative Research, as well as other EU programmes such as LIFE, EUREKA-Eurostars, the Innovation Fund and Erasmus for Young Entrepreneurs among others.

Support with the application process

What do I need to bear in mind when planning and submitting an application for funding? How do I define the activities and deliverables in my research project? Our experts will help you formulate your project idea and work with you to develop a robust concept for its implementation. We also advise you on topics such as intellectual property and the development of an entrepreneurial innovation strategy.

Partnersearch for EU research & development projects

Are you seeking suitable international partners for your consortium? Our experts have access to a Europe-wide database and can therefore identify suitable project partners for your research project, be it SMEs, universities or research organisations. We will publish a Europe-wide call for cooperation and business on our EEN-Website for you.
