Enterprise Europe Network in Portugal

Enterprise Europe Network offers support and advice to businesses across Europe and helps them make the most of the opportunities in the European Union. Our services are specifically designed for small and medium enterprises (SMEs) but are also available to all businesses, research centers and Universities across Europe.


The Enterprise Europe Network in Portugal intends to implement a single integrated and professional regional network of business and innovation support services.


The main objectives are to provide an easy and friendly access to EU-related information and knowledge that is relevant to SME competitiveness, and, at the same time, by building on the broad and cooperating experience gathered within the Consortium. By so doing, the Consortium should provide a highly qualified service for technological and innovation transfer.


This project also aims to help Portuguese enterprises to face the global competitiveness challenges, by easing their access to high standards of valuable and relevant information and knowledge. It also contributes to increasing management qualifications, thus promoting economic growth and entrepreneurship as well as more and better qualified employment.


It also follows the two main guidelines: the “no wrong door” concept and “excellence, proximity and professionalism” of network partners within the Consortium and will focus on promoting the above concepts close to other organizations via different types of cooperation and relationships established with the Consortium partners.
