Enterprise Europe Network celebrated its 15th anniversary last year
Since 2008, advisers affiliated with the Enterprise Europe Network (EEN) have been helping businesses innovate and grow internationally. With more than 450 network partner organisations, EEN has grown over the past 15 years to become the world's largest business support network. What have we achieved together since then?

By offering a combination of learning opportunities, tailored advice and support to find the best partnerships, SMEs get the support they need. The network offers support across a wide range of sectors: from agriculture to artificial intelligence, textiles to aerospace, maritime to creative industries. The Network's unique combination of local knowledge and global reach has enabled thousands of companies to access international markets and grow their businesses further and faster.
In 2022, LIOF joined the network to support entrepreneurs in the region in their international ambitions. Together with six regional development agencies, the Netherlands Enterprise Agency (RvO), Hanze University of Applied Sciences, Business Development Friesland, New Energy Coalition, and the Water Alliance Foundation, LIOF is part of EEN NL. The developments of the past 15 years offer a great opportunity to look back on what we have achieved together:
- 4.2 million+ SMEs supported to grow and innovate
- 500+ network partners are ready to support your business
- 92% of customers are satisfied with EEN's services.
- Expertise in all areas of business support, from digitisation and innovation to internationalisation and sustainability.
The EEN advisors build on what has been achieved over the past 15 years. They look forward to continuing to help entrepreneurs find international business partners, innovate, and advise on EU legislation and regulations, sustainability, and digitisation. Your local EEN advisor is always open to meeting you. Please contact Lanny Roest, whose contact details can be found at the bottom of this page.
