Our service for you

We provide tailored services for you to get the most out of our numerous innovation networks.

Network Setup and Expansion

With more than 70 innovation and technology networks, EurA has many years of experience in the initiation, establishment and management of networks. We bring together partners from industry and science, both on current and future-oriented topics and technologies, in national and international networks.

Network Meetings

The central element of our innovation networks is collaboration. As a network management organisation, we bring you together, whether online or face-to-face, with network partners or at interesting network- relevant locations. With news from the network, expert lectures, information on current funding programs, market information, project workshops and laboratory and company tours, we have something for everyone!

User Workshops

„Turning Innovation into Business Success“ means knowing the future needs of customers and users. We organise customer presentations and bring you closer together with your future customers, in the context of networking meetings and/ or individual meetings.

Applications for Funding

You have an innovative idea for a new product, process or service? We advise and support you in organising and applying for public funding (non-repayable grants). We find the appropriate funding programme and prepare your funding application in close coordination with you. You benefit from our support throughout the entire process.

Market Research

What are the future needs and requirements of customers and users? Where are new markets developing? Based on an agreed upon research profile we create your market and competition analysis for you.

Technical Consulting

Technological trends and new developments are changing the world of tomorrow. Knowledge on cutting-edge technological developments is essential for you and your future business model. You will receive technology analyses and important information about current industry-specific trends from our specialists.

Public Relations

We give the innovation network external visibility with a variety of PR measures and joint activities. The PR package includes our own network, logo, flyers, website, publications, lectures and trade fair participation. All this is carried out with the aim of presenting the network and its partners to the public.

 

EurA is the market leader in innovation networks

It is not only us as SMEs who benefit from the EurA network, but also the entire industry.

Funded innovation networks

Innovation networks are a useful way for many companies to develop R&D projects. But how can these networks be financed? In some cases, state funding is possible. SMEs should check whether such a network can be funded via the Central Innovation Programme for SMEs (Zentrales Innovationsprogramm Mittelstand, ZIM). 


What is funded by ZIM?

ZIM not only provides funding for R&D projects, but also for the management of innovation networks. An external service provider commissioned by the participating companies, such as EurA or a research institution involved in the network, is eligible to apply for funding for network management.


Who is funded by ZIM? 

The applicant and funding recipient is the network management service provider. The beneficiaries of ZIM funding, on the other hand, are the companies associated in the innovation network: At least six independent SMEs must join forces for this purpose. They contribute to the costs of network management, which are allocated proportionately to all of them.

 Tip: Read more about ZIM funding for networks on the BMWK ministry website.
