ongoing

The main objective of EEN Flanders is to prioritize on the internationalisation and innovation challenges Flemish SMEs face. Ultimate goal is to build effective and high-quality client journeys after thorough assessment including business, technology and innovation reviews, drafting an action plan with high quality tailor-made services, peer-to-peer learnings & workshops and seminars intended for SME capacity building. Our Sustainability Advisor will continue to strengthen companies’ awareness rising and help them set their minds toward perspective and sustainable business models and practices. EEN Flanders will be a reference hub for connecting with regional, national and European stakeholders and spokes to give our SMEs the best possible solutions in their client journey towards sustainable growth, opening new markets, decreasing the time-to-market, making business grow and consequently create jobs. EEN Flanders’ communication strategy aims to underline EEN Flanders as a reference hub by informing, activating, inspiring and connecting entrepreneurs and partners within the EEN Network on and with EEN success stories and services. More attention will be given to the importance of SME Feedback as a dedicated advisor will ensure follow-up. Both partners VLAIO & FIT are executive agencies of the Flemish government, directly involved in the implementation of the policy measures, mainly vis-à-vis the Flemish SMEs. EEN Flanders builds upon more than 16 year of expertise within the present Network, supporting SMEs and it will continue to do so in the next contract period. Both partners are fully integrated in the Flemish entrepreneurial ecosystem and liaise on a daily basis with the main actors in this ecosystem. Both VLAIO and FIT are committed to support EEN Flanders, including the execution of its communication strategy and yearly work plan. This will enhance local branding, create more awareness & enlarge visibility for the Network.
