Businesses provide feedback on innovative SME instrument

SMEs have been asked for their thoughts on the Eurostars programme as part of an on-going dialogue on the European programme for innovative small businesses.

Project officers spoke to SMEs in Latvia, Iceland, Spain and Switzerland and are looking to better understand the experiences of project participants. The discussions had a particular focus on international co-operation, project results and direct impact of the EU programme on the growth of the company.

According to EUREKA, SMEs have welcomed the dialogue, which also intends to also emphasise best practices which can then be shared with other participants in Eurostars. Further discussions are set to take place with SMEs in other countries.
