Does your business have global ambition? Are you looking to disrupt the marketplace with a new product or service? If so then this session will provide insight into two key instruments that will help you navigate your way and maximise your innovation potential within Europe.

The Enterprise Europe Network (EEN) brings together 600 partner organisations in more than 50 countries to help your business innovate, grow and succeed in the European marketplace.  

Andrew North, Innovation Adviser for the network and Key account manager for the SME Instrument will explain how EEN can provide free support your business to access EU funding, grow into new markets, and identify partners to develop and launch new products or services.

Jane Watkins – Innovate UK’s National Contact Point for SME’s  will provide an overview of the H2020 SME Instrument, detailing the programme as well as providing valuable hints and tips to boost your application. Jane is a key partner, working closely with EEN to support applicants.
