Enterprise Europe Network Estonia

ongoing

The objective of the Enterprise Estonia Network Estonia (EEN ESTONIA) consortium is to provide value added and client centric services to Estonian SMEs on innovation, Single Market and internationalization, access to finance, etc., helping them to become more resilient and competitive, grow and reach international markets. The consortium will provide services to nearly 800 Estonian SMEs ranging from high-impact deep-tech start-ups to traditional manufacturing and service SMEs to improve the overall competitiveness of the Estonian business ecosystem. EEN ESTONIA builds upon the experience of the last decade and a half to provide even better services to SMEs. The consortium brings together the best and most experienced service providers in the Estonian business and innovation support ecosystem, covering all aspects of the Network from internationalisation to innovation and access to funding. This will allow the consortium to deliver a significant impact on Estonian SMEs, helping them overcome the difficulties caused by the economic recession of the last 2 years. EEN ESTONIA follows the well-established “hub and spoke” and ‘no-wrong-door’ principles in the Network client journey approach, ensuring each client receives the service designed according to their specific needs from the most relevant partner. At the same time, the consortium ensures that the Network makes the best use of available resources within the consortium, Network in general, and in the rest of the Estonian innovation support system. As a result of the project, Estonian SMEs will become more innovative, competitive, and resilient; more adapted and open to international activities; and better adapted to the challenges in the Single market, including better access to funding opportunities. This will result in 113 Achievements by the consortium.
