IT ClusterIn the new economic reality, entering international markets has become a necessity for businesses. Global competition demands access to cutting-edge technologies, reliable partners, and resources. But how can you avoid language barriers, prolonged negotiations, and legal procedures? Kharkiv IT Cluster has found the solution and offers companies the opportunity to take advantage of the Enterprise Europe Network — the world’s largest international network supporting small and medium-sized enterprises.
What is the Enterprise Europe Network?
The Enterprise Europe Network is the largest global business network for small and medium-sized enterprises, helping companies find partners for cooperation, implement innovations, and expand into new markets. It unites over 600 organizations across 60 countries.
The platform’s functionality provides the following opportunities 👇
- Searching for international partners — from business partners to technological and research collaborators.
- Product and technology development through participation in joint projects.
- Market analysis and finding clients abroad.
- Access to resources for analytics and testing that foster innovation development.
- Participation in international events — exhibitions, conferences, and seminars that help expand your contact base and learn about the latest trends.
- Offering your expertise to potential clients and partners.
Life hacks for successful partner search on the EEN platform:
- Clearly define what you are looking for. Specificity in your search will save time and help you find the right partners faster.
- Use search filters. To find relevant partnership offers from other network clients, use the filters in the «Partnering opportunities» section. They allow you to sort offers by industry, market, partner type, or collaboration type.
- Dedicate a resource to regularly reviewing requests — at least 15 minutes every two days. This will help you avoid missing interesting opportunities. As soon as you find a relevant offer, act quickly: contact the project coordinator for fast matching with the company. Kharkiv IT Cluster is always here to help take your business to the next level!
