H2020 & SMEs: Why?
Impact assessment in previous EU R&I Programmes
Less than 50% of industries use publicly funded R&D projects strategically
Only 22% of SMEs in EU research programmes are strategic innovators
Most academics engage with industry only to further develop research
Results not exploited because projects not designed for exploitation
The information environment of R&D programmes is unattractive to SMEs
•SMEs cannot benefit from research results due to missing IPR strategy
SMEs not encouraged to take the project leadership, but public (R&D) organisations lack the entrepreneurial expertise
