Enterprise Europe Network
Enterprises engaged in the development and commercialisation of emerging technologies have to embrace greater uncertainty and complexity, keep up with accelerated change and develop new capabilities and skills
CPI, in partnership with One NorthEast, has established a new team dedicated to working with organisations in the North East of England to help address their business and innovation challenges around:
- shaping strategic R&D projects
- sourcing R&D investment
- building consortia for accessing new capabilities
- expanding supply chains and providing greater access to the EU’s technology marketplace
The new team forms the region’s hub within the EU’s newly established Enterprise Europe Network (EEN) and has indepth expertise of the EU's Framework Programme Seven (FP7) and TSB Technology Programme for collaborative R&D projects.
In addition to expertise and advice, the team will also be providing businesses with access to interactive tools for tracking public tenders and relevant information on EU policies, regulations and initiatives.
