EEN Bremen -Helping innovative SMEs to internationalise

2026-07-22

"Based on the Triple transition in the economy of the EU Single Market, the need to support SMEs increasing their capabilities in sustainability, digitalisation and scale-up, the new EEN Bremen is aiming at provision of services making SMEs more competitive and resilient. The main objective of this proposal is to implement the activities of the EEN Bremen for the new funding period 22-25. The Network has provided integrated services in business, now focusing on digitalisation and sustainability as well as upscaling and innovation support within a single European network and on NUTS1 regions level. The new EEN Bremen consortium (composed of The Ministry of Economic Affairs, Labour and Europe (FHB), RKW Bremen and Bremer Aufbau-Bank (BAB) & DD) will meet the new requirements of the EEN providing these services covering SMEs in the Federal State of Bremen. The aim of the services outlined in this proposal is to facilitate access to the EU Single Market as well third country markets for European SMEs and to provide growth-oriented, integrated business and innovation support services that help strengthen the competitiveness, sustainability and resilience of European enterprises. Specifically, EEN Bremen provides easy-to-access integrated services in close proximity to SMEs respecting the “no-wrong-door policy” while maintaining and continuously improving the professionalism of the services provided. The consortium offers high[1]level in-depth advisory with its sustainability advisers and digital advisory services based on innovation networks and regional embedded institutions and ecosystems, e.g. Digital Hub Bremen. We strive to achieve excellence in the services provided to SMEs and in all related Network activities and promote the ""nework identity"". We facilitate awareness rising of SMEs about EU policy issues and act as a communication channel for the COM with EU SMEs, thereby supporting the implementation of EU legislation, stimulating knowledge transfer and growth."
