The world’s largest network for internationalisation right on your doorstep
In 2008, the European Commission initiated the Enterprise Europe Network to support small and medium-sized enterprises in their innovation and internationalisation projects. Since then, the EEN at saaris has been part of this largest support network in the world, with around 6,000 employees in over 600 organisations, and can draw on the expertise of foreign chambers, associations, technology centres and innovation agencies.
We offer our services predominantly free of charge for Saarland customers.
Our services
Internationalisation and individual cooperation partner mediation
To be successful in new markets, you need efficient and, above all, suitable partners. For small and medium-sized enterprises, the search for this is associated with a great deal of effort. The EEN offers a range of tools that make finding the right partners much easier, as one of our main areas of work is to support the search for potential partners in the fields of business, technology and research in other European countries and worldwide.
- Support in the creation of your company profile in our European cooperation database and publication via the network
- Organisation of international cooperation exchanges at home and abroad (B2B exchanges make it possible to hold a whole series of initial talks in a short time and in a well organised manner. Suitable meetings are arranged in advance based on your company profile and you can establish contacts with potential business and project partners).
- Organisation of individual business trips to desired target countries
- Search for potential project partners from science and research for the development of an innovative project
- Monthly mailing of “Eurokontakte” (European contacts) with current profiles from all over the world
