The Enterprise Europe Network (EEN) North West

As the official EU business support network for SMEs, it is no surprise to learn that the EEN operates in over 45 countries and 280 cities across Europe. By delivering this service locally in the North West it means you are only one phone call, email or one-to-one meeting away from what's happening in Europe.
