Going International

The Enterprise Europe Network is a key instrument in the EU’s strategy to boost growth and jobs. Its mission is to help small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) make the most of the unparalleled business opportunities in the EU Single Market through its local member organisations.

As a member of this network Enterprise Europe Brussels provides support to local businesses in the Brussels-Capital Region.

One of its key roles is to help Brussels-based companies, research centres and universities define their business strategy and boost their development beyond Belgian borders.

Partnership collaborations with foreign companies often allow companies to expand into new markets and to take advantage of niche opportunities, but this can often be a drawn-out expensive process.

To facilitate this process Enterprise Europe Brussels offers a wide range of free services and products.

Enterprise Europe Brussels

Our method is founded on a long-term relationship between the company’s representative and the Enterprise Europe Brussels' expert. This is the only way for him or her to gain a better understanding of the company’s strengths and specific needs.

That is why an Enterprise Europe Brussels expert visits the company and assesses its experience, capacity and motivation to move forward in the partnership process. The expert conducts an international check and/or a technical audit, in consultation with the company.

Depending on the company's (explicit and implicit) needs and strategy and the outcome of this assessment, a joint action plan is then drawn up based on our customised services.

A brokerage event is a matchmaking event organised by Enterprise Europe Network partners. These business meeting days are organised in advance and involve potential partners from several countries. Participants can draw up their own agenda of business meetings with targeted foreign partners beforehand. These events are often organised on a sectoral basis, in the margin of trade exhibitions.
