Programme: Single Market Programme (SMP)-undefined

Topic: SMP-COSME-2021-EEN-01

Type of action: SMP COSME Enterprise Europe Network Actions

Project ID: 101052741

Objective

Thanks to a brand new consortium of 3 regional partners, but building on the existing EEN consortium since AWEX will still ensure the coordination, and to the support of the authorities of the Walloon Region, the EENWallonie2022 project will allow to pursue the development of the network in Wallonia (Belgium) between 2022 and 2025. The main objective of the project will be to contribute to the improvement of the competitiveness and sustainability of Walloon SMEs through the wide range of European added value services offered in the framework of the network. However, the project will take into account the existing situation in Wallonia in order not to propose services that are already offered by the Walloon SME support environment. Concretely, the consortium will aim to assist Walloon SMEs to become more economically, environmentally and socially sustainable, to support their digitalization and greater resilience to shocks, to facilitate their access to the Single Market and third country markets as well as to support their innovation and innovation processes. Particular emphasis will be put on the client-centric approach and the client journey while the active involvement of Walloon partners and stakeholders will be continued and strengthened, notably through the hub and spoke model. Finally, communication activities will be carried out in order to better reach SMEs  and particularly those with a high potential for internationalization and/or innovation
