About the Call

The Enterprise Europe Network helps businesses innovate and grow in the EU Single Market and beyond. It provides: 

• Dedicated advice to companies including on EU laws and regulations; 
• Innovation support, including on how to embrace digitalisation and adopt sustainable business models; 
• Partnering services through the organisation of dedicated trade missions and business matchmaking events at European fairs.

Each year, its services lead to the signature of thousands of business deals within the EU and beyond.

Complementing its recent call for proposals for the new Enterprise Europe Network starting in 2022, the Commission is now reaching out to potential partners in international growth markets to become ‘International Network Partners’ to the Network, helping clients to connect with European companies.  These will take the place of the current Business Cooperation Centres under the current Network. 

Becoming an International Network Partner will offer your organisation the opportunity to: 

• Establish a preferential relationship with Europe’s leading business support organisations and approximately 3,000 experienced business advisors; 
• Connect your business clients with European companies who are, in many cases, market leaders in their industries, e.g., environmental technologies, agri-food, automotive, machinery or textiles & fashion. These highly innovative European companies are keen to find reliable business partners abroad.
