  1. SME Support under Horizon 2020 DG Research and Innovation, Info Day, Brussels, November 2013

  2. SMEs Impact Assessment in 2007 – 2013 European Programmes • Less than 50% of industrial partners use the publicly funded applied research projects strategically; • Only about 22% of SMEs participating in EU research programmes; • Most academic engage with industry to further their research rather than to commercialise their knowledge; • Results are not exploited because projects were not designed for exploitation; • There is a strong relationship between internationalisation and innovation, but SMEs are not aware of internationalisation support programmes; • The information environment of (European) R&D programmes is unattractive and repelling to SMEs.

  3. SMEs Advantages in Horizon 2020

  4. SME Instrument under Horizon 2020 The SME Instrument is targeted at all types of innovative SMEs showing a strong ambition to develop, grow and internationalise. It provides staged support covering the whole innovation cycle in 3 phases complemented by a mentoring and coaching service. Transition from one phase to the next will be seamless provided the SME project proves to be worth further support in a further evaluation. Each phase is open to new entrants. 3 Phases are foreseen: • Phase 1: Concept Feasibility assessment; • Phase 2: R&D and Demonstration work; • Phase 3: Commercialisation.

  5. SME Instrument under Horizon 2020: 3 Implementation Phases
