That project by a group of Europe's national technology and innovation programme agencies contributed to:
- create, and later further expand geographically, a durable European support network to promote the technological and business development and internationalisation of high-growth-potential SMEs (HiGro's) in Europe
- seek to optimise existing national and European support programmes for HiGro's,
- and prepare the creation of a new European support programme and structure for HiGro's to close critical gaps in existing programmes.
