EEN supports SMEs in identifying opportunities for funding of innovation projects, research and development, as well as internationalisation. This includes regional, national and EU-based funding. EEN works closely with www.eusme.se through which Swedish SMEs receives subsidised support to identify and strengthen an application to e.g. Eurostars and EIC programmes. Within EU there is a collaboration between EEN and EIC (European Innovation Council) as well as a programme where a selection of EEN partners (including Uminova and RISE) can apply for checks for specific actions with the aim to strengthen the companies’ possibilities to secure funding.
