Enterprise Europe Brussels

Enterprise Europe Brussels (EEB) is a joint initiative of hub.brussels and the Brussels Chamber of Commerce and Industry (BCCI). It is the Brussels representation of the Enterprise Europe Network (EEN), the largest business support network in the world. The EEN is co-funded by the European Commission to stimulate the innovation and growth of SMEs. The network is based on around 600 local organisations in 60 countries in Europe and beyond.

Cluster Name works with Enterprise Europe Brussels to help you find the ideal international partner, whether for a commercial, technological or research contact. Enterprise Europe Brussels offers SMEs – and large companies, universities, research centres and public administrations – a complete range of services to promote their international development.

The support of  Enterprise Europe Brussels is free of charge and entitles you to the following services:

• Advice on growing and expanding in international markets and facing the challenges of the single market, the transition to digitalisation, sustainability and resilience
• Improved management of your innovative products, services or processes to create impact and commercial success and therefore a real return on investment
• Information on European funding for R&DI, with a focus on Horizon Europe, the 2021-2027 framework programme
• Information on funding sources to help your business grow (including scale-ups)
• Access to the largest database in Europe with over 6,000 profiles offering research, technological and commercial partnerships. It is up to you to determine the access method: by consultation or by notification via an email alert system customised to your sector and/or business niche
• The opportunity to be included in this database as a stakeholder proposing a collaboration (offer or search for partners) or wanting to promote their research results or the innovative applications of their technologies, products, processes or services on the market

• Participation in B2B partnership events (matchmaking events at trade fairs related to the cluster’s themes and to your sectors/fields of activity or company missions organised for a smaller number of companies and having as their destination a region with economic characteristics that complement the Brussels Capital Region). These B2B business meetings allow you to choose and schedule bilateral meetings with selected contacts on an online platform. Enterprise Europe Brussels supports you in the different stages from preparation for participation, identifying the most relevant participants for you to maximise your opportunities to conclude successful agreements/contracts.

• Information on commercial legislation and public calls for tender in Europe to help you export your products and services in some 60 countries covered by the network, via Enterprise Europe Brussels c/o BECI
