    Publisher’s Note

    At the Enterprise Europe Network annual conference this week, the European Commission announced an extension of this key support network for smaller businesses (SMEs), opening new contact points in Japan and doubling its presence in China.

    The EEN has a crucial role in supporting SMEs, helping them to benefit from the internal market by focusing on innovation, and also to access international markets. In the current economic climate, it is even more important to encourage European businesses to profit from the still growing markets in Asia, Latin America and Eastern Europe.
