Policy Research and Innovation
Activities for SMEs • All forms of R&D and all forms of innovation, towards
exploitation and commercialisation
• SME participation in collaborative R&D or innovation projects (all three priorities)
• SME instrument (budget from all societal challenges as well as from the LEITs)
• Innovation in start-ups, spin-offs and young companies (Eurostars and other measures)
• Access to risk finance (debt and equity facility)
• Exchange and mobility of researchers involving SMEs (Marie Curie actions)
• Links for access to procurements…

The Analysis
![Page 7: SME support - EUROSFAIRE · PolicyResearch and Innovation Activities for SMEs • All forms of R&D and all forms of innovation, towards exploitation and commercialisation • SME](https://reader034.fdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022042222/5ec897c12d482a5f6f450dfa/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
Policy Research and Innovation
Outcome of impact assessments
• Less than 50% of industrial partners use the publicly funded applied research projects strategically
• Only about 22% of SMEs participating in EU research programs are strategic innovators
• Most academics engage with industry to further their research rather than to commercialise their knowledge
• Results are not exploited because projects were not designed for exploitation
• There is a strong relationship between internationalisation and innovation, but SMEs are not aware of internationalisation support programmes.
• The information environment of (European) R&D programmes is unattractive and repelling to SMEs

Policy Research and Innovation
Known pitfalls
• In case of interesting research results SMEs cannot benefit from
them due to missing IPR strategy in the beginning of the project
• Projects are "front-loaded" (=R&D centred), insufficient resources
planned for exploitation phase
• SMEs are not encouraged to take the project leadership, but
public (R&D) organisations lack the entrepreneurial expertise

Policy Research and Innovation
Open issues
• Evaluation and selection based on market relevance
• How much paper do we need… to strike a balance between
a lean administration and a reliable selection
• Mentoring and coaching: definitions, organisational aspects
• How to convince potential lead customers and investors of
the quality of the selection process… towards a quality label
We are eager to discuss with and
to learn from you
