EISC Ltd

EISC Ltd has over 20 years ‘hands on’ experience in helping SMEs trade with Europe, especially public sector contracts in the EU.

As part of the South East ‘Enterprise Europe Network’ consortium, EISC has helped small businesses find commercial partners and facilitated cross border technology partnering.

With a joint background covering the private and public sectors, the EISC team recognises that the needs of Small and Medium Enterprises are very different from those of big business; particularly in terms of time and resource constraints. The service that EISC provides is tailored to meet their individual needs.

In addition to providing information and advice on winning tenders and obtaining grants the EISC team has expanded its service to give assistance to SMEs in developing EU business partnerships, accompanying SMEs to matchmaking events, and organising workshops to help them bid for EU tenders and grants.
