The European Commission has launched a survey on the effectiveness of public innovation support for SMEs in Europe. It is addressed to enterprises (especially SMEs) and providers of innovation support to SMEs (including institutional stakeholders, business organisations, etc.) operating in Europe, EFTA countries and Horizon 2020 associated countries. The main objective is to collect fresh information on:

  • The main factors hampering innovation in SMEs, particularly in view of recent technological and market developments;
  • Forms of innovation support received over the last three years;
  • The level of satisfaction with the existing support for innovation;
  • Gaps in innovation support and suggestions for improvement.

The ultimate goal is to inform the European Commission on how to make public innovation support for SMEs more effective and efficient.

The survey will be open until 31 May 2020.
