Following the extension of the EEN2EIC project until August 2027, two new calls have been launched for Enterprise Europe Network (EEN) organisations, offering new opportunities to strengthen support services for innovative SMEs and enhance the capacities of EEN advisors across Europe.
Call 4bis – Investment Readiness Services
Call 4bis continues to support EEN organisations in delivering harmonised Investment Readiness Services to innovative SMEs through the EEN2EIC Investment Readiness Toolkit.
The call also introduces additional financial support for follow-up activities and impact measurement, enabling EEN advisors to monitor the progress of supported companies and better demonstrate the impact of the services provided.
Call 5 – Training Sessions in Widening Countries
Call 5 is addressed to EEN organisations interested in organising training and capacity-building activities in Widening and Associated Countries.
The initiative aims to strengthen the capacity of EEN advisors and innovative companies to access opportunities under the EIC Accelerator, while encouraging greater participation from countries that are currently underrepresented.
