The Enterprise Europe Network (EEN) helps small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) innovate and grow on an international scale. Active across the globe, the Network brings together experts from member organisations known for excellence in business support, including chambers of commerce and industry, regional development organisations, universities and research institutes, and innovation agencies. Although individual businesses cannot become members of the Network, they can benefit from its wide range of services. Teams of Network experts based in member organisations offer personalised support tailored to each business’s sector and growth stage. These professionals possess local market knowledge and have access to a vast network of international business opportunities. The Network supports SMEs across all key economic sectors—from healthcare, agri-food and intelligent energy to fashion and textile—and helps them transition to more sustainable and digital business models. Its services include market intelligence, advice on internationalisation, access to Europe’s largest online database of business opportunities, and assistance in finding partners for manufacturing, distribution, co-development, or supply. With a client-centric approach, the Network’s international advisers are equipped to provide guidance and opportunities that help businesses thrive in the global market. The EEN includes sector and thematic groups. The Sector Group Retail provides a forum for exchange of best practices on supporting retail SMEs, organises knowledge-sharing events as well as activities for companies in the sector such as match-making.
