The Consortium is composed of 3 partners who have already been working for the EEN Project for 14 years. They have already achieved recognition by their client bases, other stakeholders in the region and by the management of their host structures. The name and services of the Enterprise Europe Network are widely known among the SMEs receiving services from the Consortium partners. IST-BUSINNOVA is known as EEN-Istanbul in the region where SMEs and other private and public business support structures can obtain reliable, fast and high quality information and services with and access to all other countries in the Network. The team established specifically for EEN services works as a single unit, registering their activities to the same project management system and working with the same quality standards. The project aims to accelerate the market up-take of solutions into sustainable, resilient, climate neutral and intelligent manufacturing, within the context of the Single Market Programme and European Green Deal. IST-BUSINNOVA will therefore play a significant role in the economic recovery and longer term economic success: accelerating the twin green and digital transition and building resilience. IST-BUSINNOVA will take a client-centric approach and provide specialised and tailored-made services and support to SMEs in order to create access to local and/or global value chains, increase their digitalization, innovate, grow and scale in the Single Market and third countries, strengthen their resilience at global markets and develop long-term strategic partnerships which would be a challenge for a SME to do on itself. The Network’s hub & spoke model and client-strategic approach are key dimensions of shaping the Consortium’s services, particularly on innovation and scale-ups, and access to finance for circularity and sustainability.
