The objectives of the InnoDK IV project are to: • Provide Key Account Management (KAM) services to Danish businesses, which have been awarded grants under the SME Instrument, Future Emerging Technologies or Fast Track to Innovation programmes • Provide Enhancing Innovation Management Capacity (EIMC) services to SMEs in 2019. Companies will be assessed via the Innovation Health Check tools or other approved tools and depending on results, referred on to relevant organisations in the Danish and European innovation eco-system. In total, under both categories 170 service packages will be carried out. The figure is based on an average of 70 KAM packages coming through EIC programmes, and 100 EIMC cases carried out. If a larger number of grants from EIC are given to Danish participants, the packages will be adjusted accordingly. The Danish EEN has consistently been one of the absolute top performers across the board, with a strong focus on creating impact for client companies. The network ranks overall #1 in number of Partnership Agreements per FTE during the current period, including #1 for PA Research and #1 for PA Technology. Figures from the EASME in 2019 show that the Danish EEN has an average of nearly six times the network average in PA/FTE, while still adhering to the highest standards. Furthermore, the network has an active policy of counting and demonstrating direct impact on behalf of clients and making this information available to national stakeholders every year. This approach will be maintained by the organisations and staff members involved in the Innovation Denmark 2020-2021 project.

The objectives of the Innovation Denmark 2019 project are to: • Provide Key Account Management (KAM) services to Danish businesses, which have been awarded grants under the SME Instrument, Future Emerging Technologies or Fast Track to Innovation programmes • Provide Enhancing Innovation Management Capacity (EIMC) services to SMEs in 2019. Companies will be assessed via the Innovation Health Check tools or other approved tools and depending on results, referred on to relevant organisations in the Danish and European innovation eco-system. In total, under both categories 100 service packages will be carried out. The figure is based on an average of 46 KAM packages coming through EIC programmes, and 44 EIMC cases carried out. If a larger number of grants from EIC are given to Danish participants, the packages will be adjusted accordingly. The figures are based on the experience of the Danish consortium since 2014, which has seen a high and increasing number of cases coming through via the SME Instrument, due to the success Danish companies have in the programme.

The objectives of the Innovation Denmark II project are to: • Provide Key Account Management (KAM) services to Danish businesses, which have been awarded grants under the SME Instrument. • Provide Enhancing Innovation Management Capacity (EIMC) services to SMEs in 2017-2018. Companies will be assessed via the IMP3rove or Innovation Health Check tools and depending on results, referred on to relevant organisations in the Danish and European innovation eco-system. In total, under both categories, a minimum of 138 service packages will be carried out. The figure is based on an average of 69 KAM packages coming through SME Instrument, and 69 EIMC cases carried out. If a larger amount of SMEs is granted SMEI projects, the packages will be adjusted accordingly.

Entrepreneurial management practices play a pivotal role in taking entrepreneurial knowledge and utilizing it towards innovation and talent development, ultimately creating growth and increasing the effectiveness of both new business venturing as well as small- and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs). EM4FIT investigates entrepreneurship and related management practices from an interdisciplinary and multi-level angel as important variables in the interplay between individual, organization and institutional contexts within and between advanced and emerging markets. EM4FIT aims to better understand entrepreneurial management practices both from an individual (intra-organisational) as well as comparative market perspective (inter-organisational). Research will be carried out with an emphasis on the impact of institutions and context on the EU. With the exchange among 16 partners from four continents and between the academic and non-academic sector, EM4FIT brings together knowledge from advanced as well as emerging markets to further understand how entrepreneurs and managers create successful businesses and foster growth. The generated knowledge will be disseminated around the world to enhance the impact of the European entrepreneurial spirit. Involving 67 researchers, managers, technical and administrative staff, the EM4FIT involves seven work packages (WP). In addition to project management and communication, dissemination and outreach activities, five WPs focus on research, training and dissemination at multiple levels: institutional-organizational-individual. With this project structure and the competitive capability of 16 partners involved, EM4FIT will generate high impact both in terms of research excellence and societal engagement. The mix between non-academic and academic participants is designed to create knowledge relevant for businesses and society alike.
