About the network

The Enterprise Europe Network is an initiative of the European Commission (Directorate-General for Enterprise and Industry) aimed at supporting and advising SMEs.

Its network partners – 572 of them in 45 countries – are well anchored in the different European regions and boast decades of experience and international collaboration. Therefore, they are ideally suited to provide information on European legislation and financing, facilitating business contacts and assisting in setting up transnational innovation projects.

Enterprise Europe Network Flanders relies on two experienced partners, each with its own specific role:

Enterprise Flanders provides Flemish companies with information and advice on doing business in Europe, and on EU regulations, procedures and grant schemes. In addition, it assists SMEs in finding business partners throughout Europe and in establishing international projects. For transnational activities, it can call on the support of Flanders Investment & Trade, the Flemish government agency that promotes and supports international business. Enterprise Flanders is headquartered in Brussels and has provincial antennas in five major cities: Antwerp, Bruges, Ghent, Hasselt and Leuven.

 

IWT offers Flemish companies financial funding, advice and a network of potential partners in Flanders and abroad. In the Enterprise Europe Network, IWT focuses on transnational technological partnering and disseminates international technology profiles of SMEs and other innovation actors such as universities and research centers.
