Created in 2005, the COTEC PME Innovation Network has the mission of contributing to the collaboration between innovative companies operating in different sectors of activity, through a set of different instruments provided by COTEC. The diagnosis of innovation processes, benchmarking and dissemination of good practices, professional networking events, knowledge management platforms, as well as the strengthening of links with entities in the scientific and technological system or with public support institutions which support to innovation are highlighted.

Innovative SMEs with more than three years of activity, at least 10 employees and a turnover of more than € 200,000 can apply for the COTEC PME Innovation Network. The submission of applications takes place through the Innovation Scoring® exercise, online at www.innovationscoring.pt.

In the application process, the company’s innovation performance will be assessed through 5 main dimensions: strategy, organization, RDI processes, enhancers and impact. The integration and maintenance of companies in the COTEC PME Innovation Network presupposes membership as an Associate of COTEC Portugal.
