Individual businesses can’t become Network members, but they can enjoy the many services offered.
Business services
Teams of Network experts in each member organisation offer personalised services to businesses.
They know the local business environment and have contacts for business opportunities worldwide.
The Enterprise Europe Network can also offer a targeted approach aimed specifically at your business sector. Its groups of experts cover all key economic sectors, from healthcare, agri-food and intelligent energy to fashion and textile. In addition, the Network will help companies increase their resilience and support SMEs in their transition to more sustainable and digital business models.
