News archive - New project: INNOSME
The EU has launched an innovative programme in the area of SME support, the INNOSME Project, aimed at increasing SMEs' chances of being awarded funding contracts, particularly in the area of information and communication technologies (ICT).
From its set up, InnoSME intends to identify innovative SMEs from the different ICT areas located in the 12 Member States that have joined the EU since 2004 (Bulgaria, Cyprus, Czech Republic, Estonia, Hungary, Latvia, Lithuania, Malta, Poland, Romania, Slovakia, Slovenia), assess their capabilities, and improve their conditions in order for them to increase their participation in research and technological development and innovation projects under the FP7.
The first step of the project is to set-up National and Regional Networks, in all of these targeted countries, in order to facilitate the access to the existing SMEs, allowing their identification and participation in the activities of the project. The second step is to create a database of SMEs from the ICT sector with the perspective of implementing afterwards an information and communication environment for the benefit of better communication.
