The European IPR Helpdesk
Intellectual property (IP) can improve the competitiveness of small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs). However, SMEs often lack the time, resources, or knowledge to address intellectual property rights (IPR) issues. The European IPR Helpdesk provides free advice and training sessions on IP issues.
Your Europe Business
Only 25% of European SMEs export to another country. This means that many SMEs are missing out on opportunities offered by the Single Market. Your Europe Business is a portal offering help to businesses and entrepreneurs who want to expand their activities to other EU or EEA countries. It provides practical information on EU rules and links them to national rules, authorities, helpdesks, and support services.
The portal helps boost competitiveness and growth, and facilitates SMEs’ access to markets. It complements and promotes the services of the Enterprise Europe Network.
The Executive Agency for Small and Medium-sized Enterprises (EASME)
The Executive Agency for Small and Medium-sized Enterprises (EASME) has been set-up by the European Commission to manage on its behalf several EU programmes including parts of H2020.
