In the current economic conditions the main challenge for the EU – and many other developed countries for that matter – is providing the conditions for smart, sustainable and inclusive growth.

The event promises to bring together hundreds of entrepreneurs, policy makers, SME support organizations from the private and the public sector, and other intermediary bodies that will feed their energy and ideas into how to improve the EU eco-system for innovative enterprises. It will also introduce SME specific measures in Horizon 2020 to this community.

This conference will focus on how SMEs could take a sustainable benefit from the participation in Horizon 2020, showing opportunities on the long term strategy for SMEs to get prepared in time for this new framework programme. 13/06/2013 Event Brewery Brussels

Brussels Due to the diversity and growing complexity of the funding landscape, Small and Medium sized Enterprises (SMEs) need targeted support and a strategic orientation to make optimal use of the funding opportunities available to them. In an increasingly competitive environment in European healthcare innovation, the shift from an ad-hoc participation to a long-lasting and sustainable involvement in collaborative projects is pivotal for the growth of innovative SMEs.
The novel structure of Horizon 2020 offers a wide range of participation possibilities in the Health sector covering a heterogeneous field and SMEs need to be prepared for their participation right from the beginning.
SMEs working in health-related areas can come from very diverse sectors, encompassing drug discovery, diagnostics (e.g. infections), food safety (e.g. microbial infections, but also prevention), e-Health/ICT (e.g. mobile and home healthcare delivery), health policies, medtech (devices), nanotech (e.g. drug delivery, vaccines), and others – this is why a wide range of Horizon 2020 programmes will be of interest to health-related SMEs.
