Enterprise Europe Network Switzerland

The Enterprise Europe Network Switzerland is a member of the Enterprise Europe Network, a facility coordinated by the European Commission.

The Enterprise Europe Network is building on the work done by its predecessors, the Euro Info Centres (EIC) and the Innovation Relay Centres (IRC), which played an active role within the EU for 20 and 12 years respectively. The Enterprise Europe Network is meant to provide a one-stop service and is aimed at SMEs within the single European market in particular, helping them to develop and exploit their business and innovation potential to the full. The network includes just under ‹600 European member organisations› who offer a wide range of SME-friendly support services both within the EU and further afield.

The Enterprise Europe Network Switzerland is made up of the following organisations: Osec (previously responsible for the Euro Info Centre Switzerland), ‹Euresearch› and ‹Alliance/EPFL›, who previously had responsibility for the IRC Switzerland.
