Specific Challenge:

COSME in general and the Enterprise Europe Network in particular, are part of the wider policy framework designed to foster growth, employment and competitiveness in the Single Market. They fully support the aims of the Europe 2020 strategy, which recognises the crucial role of SMEs in delivering high employment, social cohesion and the transition to low carbon, resource, energy efficient economy and social cohesion.

Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) play a crucial role in reaching the objectives of the Europe 2020 Strategy. Whereas they are considered as engines for growth and job creation, their competitiveness is affected by a limited exploitation of international opportunities and innovation prospects in the Single Market and beyond.

Scope:Under COSME 2014-2020, the Network took steps forward by contributing to the objectives of the COSME Programme, which are to facilitate access to European and International markets for European SMEs and to provide growth-oriented, integrated business and innovation support services that help strengthen the competitiveness and sustainability of the European companies.

Expected Impact:In this context, the Programme for the Competitiveness of Enterprises and small and medium-sized enterprises (2014-2020) , hereinafter referred to as "COSME", aims to promote growth and to strengthen the competitiveness and sustainability of enterprises in the European Union.
