Innovative SMEs in Europe face significant problems in accessing the funding and expertise needed to help them grow.
As part of its continuing efforts to overcome barriers to investment, the European Commission held four specialist workshops and set up an expert group to identify the key problems and suggest solutions.
The results will now be taken up by the Commission and disseminated to policy-makers and financing institutions across Europe.
European Innovation, launched in July 2005, replaces the former Innovation & Technology Transfer.
While the magazine continues to cover the latest developments in innovation policy and practice in the European Union, its change of name reflects growing awareness that innovation is not confined to technology, and the steady broadening of innovation policy to address the needs of all the Union's smaller firms.
The report issued by Cordis in May 2007 will give you a good idea on where we stand in 2007, technology wise. The European Institutions have proven to be very effective on the technology sector, over the past years.
A web site 100% dedicated to technology transfer and innovation was also launched in 2003 by the European Commission. Articles are also being published on a regularly basis by the European Commission.
