Our Services for SMEs

BayFOR’s SME advisory service supports small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) in Bavaria in applying for EU funding for research, development and innovation. We act as an interface between science and industry and promote the active networking of Bavarian companies and universities at European level. This provides SMEs with access to high-profile research expertise, for example, which makes them more competitive. Universities in turn can translate their research results into specific products and services together with the companies. The primary focus for the SME advisory service is the framework programme for research and innovation, Horizon Europe, and other EU funding programmes tailored to SMEs.

The Enterprise Europe Network

We are a partner in the Enterprise Europe Network, the largest advisory network for SMEs in the world. We can provide support in searching for suitable cooperation partners for SME research and development projects: We suggest suitable partners from different areas of research by means of a topic-specific search function in an international database or help you set up a partner search by yourself.
