Frequent Asks and Questions
Where can I find the recorded presentation?
The recording of the presentation is uploaded on the official YouTube channel of the SMART4ALL project.
How is a Slightly Bigger company defined (page 6 of 27 in guide of applicants)?
Slightly Bigger Company is not defined by EU, but Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) are defined in the EU recommendation 2003/361.
The main factors determining whether an enterprise is an SME are:
- staff headcount
- either turnover or balance sheet total
| Company Category | Staff Headcount | Turnover | or | Balance Sheet Total |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Medium-Sized | < 250 | < or = 50 m Euros | < or = 43 m Euros | |
| Small | < 50 | < or = 10 m Euros | < or = 10 m Euros | |
| Micro | < 10 | < or = 2 m Euros | < or = 2 m Euros | |
These ceilings apply to the figures for individual firms only. A firm that is part of a larger group may need to include staff headcount/turnover/balance sheet data from that group too.
Further details include
The revised user guide to the SME definition (2020) (2 MB, available in all EU languages)
Declaring your enterprise to be an SME (the form is available in all languages as an annex in the revised user guide)
The SME self-assessment tool which you can use to determine whether your organization qualifies as a small and medium-sized enterprise
Also, a slightly Bigger Company, we refer to those companies which have up to 500 employees and up to 100 million euros turnover.
Could you please elaborate the term of "extends the value chain"?
Let's suppose that we have only one technology provider such as an Academia or an Industrial partner which has developed a novel technology. Another SME can act as a adaptor of this technology and make a new product to another application area. Also, there can be a third partner that can move this product or the technology to a wider market (defined geographically or to other market verticals).
