The European Innovation Council and SMEs Executive Agency (EISMEA) has opened the call for proposals to setup the Enterprise Europe Network for 2025 and beyond.

This call for proposals establishes and ensures the continuous functioning of the Enterprise Europe Network from 1 July 2025 until 31 December 2028 by selecting the consortia that will make up the Network.
