Online questionnaire with specific focus on SME in Smart Systems value chain

In addition to the previously launched Smart Systems Technology Survey and the Smart Systems in Health and Beyond Survey, the IRISS project has developed a special online questionnaire to capture the specifics of SME in the Smart Systems value chain.

In one of its work packages the Coordination and Support Action IRISS - Implementation of Research and Innovation on Smart Systems Technologies which is funded by the European Commission's 7th Framework Programme is aiming at examining how SMEs in Europe could best approach and benefit from Smart Systems. To achieve this, IRISS is performing a European SMEs survey related to the Smart System Value Chain.

Our objective is to provide input on Smart Systems SMEs for Horizon 2020 since new support can only be secured by collecting hard evidence on current SMEs involvement in the Smart Systems supply chain – from research, component and equipment suppliers to designers, manufacturers and users.

We invite you to provide this evidence from your business perspective by answering the questions in the 5-minute online questionnaire at:

Please fill in this questionnaire in your own interest and do not hesitate to spread this information among any European SME that works with Smart Systems.

The questionnaire will be online until 16th September 2012.

Thank you very much for your collaboration.
