  4. You can use free text when searching for interesting calls. All you need to do is to enter a phrase in the text bar that EuroAccess is to look for in its database.

    When looking for a phrase in the free text bar, the system will perform an exact-match search. This means that it will search the database for the exact words, in their exact order. However, you can opt for two different approaches:

    1. You can use “AND”, in this way: One AND Two. EuroAccess will look in the database for the fields which records contain both One and Two, regardless of their order and their position in any sentence.

    2. You can use the “OR”, in this way: One OR Two. In this case, EuroAccess will search the database for fields that contain either the word One or the word Two. It will retrieve all the fields with one of these words or with both.

    However, you should prefer phrases or complex words over simple words in you text searches.

short description

The overall objective of this call for proposals is to ensure the continuation of the EU SME Centre in China. The latter must provide a first line of advice to target SMEs, namely SMEs operating in China or willing to enter this market, to increase and diversify their knowledge on acquisition, exports, imports and investments. In this regard, during phase V the Centre will continue to offer a set of business support services to help target SMEs overcome barriers and constraints they face in their efforts to enter, stay, or de-risk from the Chinese market.

Call objectives

The EU SME Centre in China is expected to reach a wide audience and to develop its activities vis-à-vis SMEs from EU and SMP associated countries. During phase V the Centre is expected to further extend its outreach.

EISMEA and the concerned European Commission services of DG GROW will facilitate the transition from phase IV to phase V, including the access to results and tools that are necessary to implement the project funded under this call.

The EU SME Centre in China - phase V will not only further develop the activities of previous phases, especially the ones carried out in the most recent phase IV, but will also provide new business support services that reflect, on the one hand, the needs of SMEs in the post COVID-19 pandemic and, on the other hand, the current EU policy priorities and the state of EU-China economic relations.

Thus, the specific objectives of this call for proposals are:

  • Assisting target SMEs to identify the most suitable EU and non-EU (i.e. from Member States and SMP associated countries – see section 6) business support organisations (hereinafter also referred to as “BSOs”), trade promotion organisation (hereinafter also referred to as “TPOs”) and other service providers at their disposal, that can provide target SMEs with the most appropriate support;
  • Assessing target SMEs’ readiness towards establishing and developing their commercial presence on the Chinese market and providing suitable advice on their level of preparedness to internationalise;
  • Assisting target SMEs to establish and develop a sustainable commercial presence on the Chinese market (through knowledge acquisition, exports, imports and investments);
  • Developing better knowledge of the industrial and business environment in China, especially on key sectors, through training programmes, analytical and advisory activities (reports, studies, seminars, workshops, webinars), business information and logistic support;
  • Advising target SMEs on the risks and opportunities of the Chinese market so that they can take informed decisions on envisaged business relations with Chinese partners;
  • Improving synergies and best practice sharing among EU (and when applicable non-EU) BSOs/TPOs at European, national and regional level, with the ultimate goal of helping the target SMEs established or intending to do business in China;
  • Creating or further developing synergies with other EU funded actions in a “Team Europe” fashion, offering, where relevant, joint/complementary business services with an integrated approach. In particular, cooperation with the China IP SME Helpdesk should be seamless;
  • Strengthening European advocacy for EU and SMP associated countries’ business communities, in particular SMEs, in relation to their business activities in China;
  • Advising target SMEs already operating in China on how to de-risk their operations, including providing support for SMEs willing to exit the market, in a sustainable way.

Expected effects and impacts

By the end of the project, phase V of the EU-SME Centre in China is expected to achieve the following results:

  • Improving the general knowledge and awareness among target SMEs of the risks and opportunities and of the framework conditions of the Chinese market as well as of prospects and relevant challenges for target SMEs intending to start, expand, or de-risk their business in or with China. The activities of the Centre shall be carried out with full awareness and in full respect of the wider contemporary EU-China Strategy.
  • Strengthening the coordination/synergies with similar actions for SMEs in China and in the EU / SMP associated countries, as appropriate. The Centre shall also support European business advocacy, especially for the benefit of target SMEs.
  • Reaching a large number of SMEs, in a systematic and integrated way, with particular but not exclusive focus on those SMEs having limited prospects of receiving support from national BSOs/TPOs in China. Additionally, it will support EU business community driven advocacy for SMEs in close cooperation with the EU Chambers of Commerce in China.
  • Developing active partnerships with intermediary BSOs/TPOs based in the EU and in SMP associated countries to ensure sufficient outreach and marketing of its services to SMEs, in particular target SMEs having no operations in China or that may be unaware of the services of the SME Centre.

Expected results

Under this call for proposals, the phase V of the Centre will continue to provide general business and legal support services, will offer information about market opportunities and market conditions in China and will provide networking opportunities with relevant potential partners to SMEs with a desire to enter or expand their operations in China.

The scope of this call for proposals is:

  • Whilst maintaining a generalist approach as SMEs’ “first point of contact”, the Centre shall also focus on a limited set of pre-identified relevant economic sectors to continue improving the offer of value-added services at the disposal of target SMEs (see mandatory activities below under section Activities that can be funded). These economic sectors shall correspond to the priorities of the Commission, including those linked to the green and digital transitions.

  • Facilitating direct contacts and networking among and with target SMEs, to support exchange of best practices, cooperation and “Team Europe” spirit.
  • Advocating on behalf of target SMEs, by collaborating with relevant stakeholders via oral and written contributions, and by reporting to DG GROW on market access trends and challenges faced by target SMEs in China.
  • Improving the Centre’s role as SMEs’ “first point of contact” in China via an effective outreach and communication strategy.

Among the target SMEs, special attention shall be given to SMEs from EU Member States and SMP associated countries, which are not present or do not have significant resources in China.
