About EISMEA

Our mission is to provide high quality support to European innovators, researchers, businesses and consumers. We aim to reinforce the European Union’s position as a global leader in Research and Innovation, strengthen its Single Market, open up opportunities for SMEs and maintain high standards of protection for its citizens towards a more competitive, digital, green and inclusive EU.

Established on 1 April 2021, EISMEA groups together in one agency all the activities of the European Innovation Council (EIC) and the programmes related to small and medium-sized enterprises.

The predecessor of EISMEA is the Executive Agency for Small and Medium-sized Enterprises (EASME). Documents related to the Agency can be found in the EASME documents section. Documents from the previous years on the EASME legacy website.
