The European-Canadian Centre for Innovation and Research (ECCIR) offers services to SMEs, Universities, research organizations, and federal and provincial governments and agencies in support of international relationship building and networking needs. Together with numerous national and regional funding partners from across the European continent, ECCIR offers strategic opportunities for Canadian SMEs to jointly develop new products and technologies with European partners, to grow new global networks, and to access new markets. In this regard, we are part of the IraSME network. ECCIR is the coordinator of the Enterprise Europe Network (EEN) Canada Consortium.
