Steinbeis Europa ZentrumEnabling Innovators to Grow
Steinbeis Europa Zentrum stands for over 30 years of experience in innovation consulting and research funding throughout Europe and beyond. We are successful with our projects worldwide: in 2022, we were involved in 77 EU projects with 613 partners in 52 countries.
Well-connected with international partners and networks, we stand by companies, start-ups, universities, research institutions and cluster initiatives on issues of innovation management, financing, EU applications, international markets, regional and social transformation and innovation policy.
For all target groups, we offer further training on proposal writing, project management and innovation. Together with economic development agencies, representatives of the state ministries and the EU, we conceptualise and organise large congresses and information events, including international ones, bringing together innovation actors from the entire value chain.
With various activities from the non-profit, economic as well as European sectors, we create added value for our clients: companies and start-ups, universities and research institutions, cluster initiatives and networks, public sector actors.
Steinbeis Europa Zentrum consists of three strong partners: Steinbeis EU FOR YOU (formerly SEZ, founded in 1990, part of Steinbeis Innovation gGmbH), Steinbeis 2i GmbH (founded in 2016) and Steinbeis IDEA Europe (the Institute of the Commissioner for Europe of the Minister of Economic Affairs, Labour and Tourism Baden-Württemberg, founded in 2018, part of Steinbeis Innovation gGmbH).
