Technology-Based Innovative Companies Support
The main objectives of the project were:

To help companies who have encountered difficulties in taking part in international programs

Cooperation
This collaborative project consisted in coaching a group of 12 regional SMEs, belonging to different sectors. Those companies constituted an enterprise group that worked as an informal cluster. Their links were the geographic location, relation with BIC Asturias (CEEI Asturias) and their innovation vocation.
Local Cooperation
At regional level, the companies shared innovative resources and established synergies between them.
International Cooperation
Identification in a collaborative manner of international business opportunities, potential partners, projects and consortiums, so that companies could find both commercial and technological opportunities.
