SEZ Steinbeis Europa Zentrum – ENDOTARGET Project Partner
The Steinbeis Europa Zentrum (SEZ) stands for over 30 years of experience in innovation consulting and research funding throughout Europe and beyond. The success of the SEZ is based on three strong partners (Steinbeis 2i GmbH, Steinbeis IDEA Europe, Steinbeis EU FOR YOU), which join their forces under the umbrella brand Steinbeis Europa Zentrum.
Thus, we are successful with projects worldwide: in 2020, we were involved in 72 EU projects with 620 partners in 41 countries. In Germany, SEZ is the number one company for EU projects with 146 project participations. This has been shown by an evaluation of the participation of organisations in the European research framework programmes Horizon 2020 (2014-2021) and Horizon Europe (2021-2027) (as of 1/2023).
Well-connected with international partners and networks, we stand by companies, start-ups, universities, research institutions and cluster initiatives on issues of innovation management, financing, EU applications, international markets, regional and social transformation and innovation policy. Since 2008, SEZ is also a member of the European Enterprise Network (EEN) consortia.
For all target groups, we offer further training on proposal writing, project management and innovation. Together with economic development agencies, representatives of the state ministries and the EU, we conceptualise and organise large congresses and information events on national and international level, bringing together innovation actors from the entire value chain.
With various activities from the non-profit, economic as well as European sectors, we create added value for our clients: companies and start-ups, universities and research institutions, cluster initiatives and networks as well as public sector actors.
At the SEZ’s locations in Stuttgart and Karlsruhe, Germany, over 90 people are involved in more than 70 ongoing international projects.
