The NCP SME Network (National Contact Points for European Small and Medium Size Enterprises) offers a Partner Search Facility that can assist you in finding partners for your SME project idea under the 7th Framework Programme. This covers Research for the benefit of SMEs and Research for SME programmes as well as Coordination and Support Activities.

Partner searches may be instigated by proactively launching your own search in those cases where you already have a project idea and need to complete your consortium. Alternatively you can subscribe to the TransCoSME mailing list subscription service to be informed of any opportunity arising to join a forming consortium in your areas of interest, then checking your compliance with the partner profiles sought and filling in an Expression of Interest to apply. You can also review the current listing of open partner searches.

The CORDIS Partner Finding Service is a free on-line service, tailor-made to help you to find the best research partners for your projects, either in the context of EU-funded Research and Development projects or within a broader search for technology-orientated partnerships. The service includes details on thousands of active partnership requests from companies, research institutions and universities across Europe and around the world.

If you are looking for partners it's possible to: set up your own profile and identify the type and geographic location of partners for which you are searching. Alternatively you can search the partner profiles submitted by other organisations.

If you’d like to be informed of all new profiles added to the Partners service you can also subscribe to the Partners e-mail notification facility.

The ICT Cluster receives and identifies numerous opportunities that could potentially offer its stakeholders a role in project partnerships at proposal stage. Depending on the programme these may vary from requests for specific research inputs to a need for end-user (proof of concept) type participation. Some of these are identified via regular searching of European partner match services; others are specific requests for a defined partner within this region due to network contacts established. In all cases speed and relevance of response are critical.

Through its new Bridging the Opportunity Gap project the Cluster is therefore developing a “personalised” information service so that relevant opportunities can be more accurately directed to potentially interested parties within the regional ICT community. If you’d like to find out if you could benefit from this developing service please email [email protected]">[email protected].
