What we are doing

SMEs and public procurers lack means to learn about each other, public procurers need to find news ways to voice their needs whilst supporting innovation. The EIC as a platform can support that match-making.

What we are achieving

ICLEI supports partnership building between the EIC Community members and public procurers interested in working with EIC SME’s and manages the onboarding of private and public procurers interested in working with innovators on the EIC Community Platform. ICLEI aims to motivate active participation in the EIC Community through stimulating business deals (market dialogue events, webinars etc.) and provides learning and networking opportunities for SMEs. ICLEI collects and analyses business data from the European innovation ecosystem and from the EIC beneficiaries to assess EIC beneficiaries needs and increase the impact of the program. ICLEI also ensures that EIC beneficiaries are provided with high-value opportunities to get access to Business Deals, Investments or Strategic Partnerships with Corporates and Procurers.
