Description
The Enterprise Europe Network in Hamburg and Schleswig-Holstein offers small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) as well as universities and research institutions a free advisory service on EU funding opportunities, internationalization, innovation, and partner search. As part of the European Commission’s largest advisory network worldwide, it combines the regional expertise of the Investment Bank Schleswig-Holstein (IB.SH) with international know-how from over 600 partners in more than 60 countries. Through individual coaching, targeted research of potential cooperation partners, and support during the application process, access to programs such as Horizon Europe, Erasmus+, or LIFE is facilitated. Ongoing inquiries are possible at any time, and funding is provided in the form of grants.
The offer is aimed at SMEs and research institutions from Hamburg and Schleswig-Holstein seeking to enhance their innovation capacity, open up new markets, or implement transnational projects. Support services include free initial consultations, sustainability checks, facilitation of contacts with EU institutions and national contact points, as well as assistance with the implementation of European legal requirements in everyday business operations. With regard to the Sustainable Development Goals, the network particularly promotes activities in the areas of clean energy, decent work, industrial innovation, and partnerships for sustainable development. Interested companies and institutions can submit a non-binding consultation request and thus receive tailored recommendations to successfully apply for European funding and build international collaborations.
