On 11th May 2017, the Executive Agency for Small and Medium Enterprises (EASME) from the European Commission published the SME Instrument Impact Report 2017.
Since 2014, the world’s most wanted funding scheme for SMEs – the SME Instrument from Horizon 2020 – has been creating a huge impact on the growth of thousands of high-risk and disruptive companies in Europe. Despite its ultra-competitive nature, the SME Instrument made history with countless positive achievements which can be found:
Our successful clients, known as SME Instrument Champions, who were awarded funding under this SME scheme have certainly been growing in terms of employment creation, turnover, profit, international market share, return on investment (ROI) and, most importantly, customer acquisition. Three of the most promising examples – among many others – are as follows:
- BSQ Solar S.L. (Spain), with the REPHLECT project
- Colvistec GmbH (Germany), with the IMPAX project
- SINAY sarl (France), with the AIMS project
Whether you represent an innovative startup or scale-up SME, do you have what it takes to become the next European Business Innovation Champion?
