Opportunities for entrepreneurs in Europe via EEN. As an entrepreneur you may have ambitions to do business across borders, perhaps even in several countries, so where do you start? There is one network that can greatly facilitate these ambitions: the Enterprise Europe Network (EEN). This is Europe’s largest network for entrepreneurs with international ambitions.
Continue to connect
For some time now, Water Alliance has been a partner in the international EEN business network. Recently, the collaboration was extended for 3.5 years. Water Alliance supports water technology companies from EEN mainly in commercial and technological cooperation. Based on your request or offer, we connect you as an entrepreneur with international partners in order to further develop your (innovative) products and services, or to introduce them to new markets. EEN services are funded by the European Commission and are therefore free of charge.
EEN is the network for international opportunities and more
The Network is active in more than 50 countries worldwide. EEN supports SMEs around the world in their search for international cooperation or their entry into new markets. In addition, EEN helps to answer questions that you may have when you, as an SME, wish to expand your business abroad. These may include questions about European legislation and regulations and/or financing opportunities. Through EEN, we offer you access to a worldwide network of experts, specialists and, above all, contact with potential business partners.
Activities via EEN
EEN’s concrete activities include international matchmaking events, company missions and the facilitation of direct contacts. In addition, the network offers practical information and advice on various aspects of innovation development, international business and cooperation.

Water Alliance will be part of the Enterprise Europe Network for the next 3.5 years as well, so you can contact us when you have international ambitions, are looking for advice and information on internationalization and/or when you are looking for cooperation partners in Europe and beyond.
