Flanders Innovation and Entrepreneurship

The agency Flanders Innovation & Entrepreneurship is the contact point for entrepreneurs in Flanders. We encourage and support innovation and entrepreneurship, and contribute to a favourable business climate.

We do this in close collaboration with local actors and supported by our international commitments in EUREKA, E.E.N. and H2020.

 

We focus on:

• Stimulating growth and innovation

We support businesses through grants so they continue to grow, transform and innovate. Examples include the SME growth subsidy, SME innovation- and R&D-projects.

 

• Promoting entrepreneurship

We work together with strong partners that assist SMEs through start, growth and takeover. We also encourage networking focused on growth companies.

 

• Supporting clusters

We support organisations that catalyse cooperation and dynamics within a group of enterprises and knowledge institutions.

 

• Improving environmental factors

We facilitate the development of industrial areas.

By being a one-stop-shop, we built a bridge towards stronger entrepreneurship.

 

 

In numbers (2016):

369 employees

30 million euro operating resources

513 million euro for grants
