The EU SME Centre joins the Enterprise Europe Network Conference 2015
The Enterprise Europe Network (EEN) Annual Conference 2015 kicked off in Brussels on June 8th – 10th welcoming over 800 new and existing EEN partners all helping SMEs to innovate and grow internationally.
The conference focused on sharing good practices, deepening knowledge of services and programmes and strengthening links between Network partners. The EU SME Centre attended as an official new member, meeting with partners and sharing best practices on how to leverage the Network to better serve European SMEs doing business in China.
During the conference, the Centre’s Marketing and Communications Manager Anne-Laure Maddy participated in a dedicated workshop introducing EU internationalisation services within the network. She had bilateral meetings with over 20 EEN points from Austria, China, Ireland, the UK, Spain, Romania, Italy, Finland, the Czech Republic and Sweden. Discussions centred on partnership opportunities, business advice for SMEs, and joint activities covering company trade missions, matchmaking events, and training workshops.
The EU SME Centre joined the EEN network in 2015 and will be organising brokerage events to bring European and Chinese companies together, facilitating partnership agreements, offering advice and training to SMEs looking to do business in China.
