       □ yes, I will attend (please indicate one of the options below)
             □ Option 1: EPROCA Training Program on “Increasing global
                 competitiveness of SMEs: tips and tools"
                 Description: Clusters offer an outstanding tool for micro and small
                 businesses, MSMEs, to increase their overall competitiveness, assist
                 enterprises in their growth activities and give better access to
                 international markets.
                 Today clustering is a mainstream strategy for more than 100 countries
                 across the world for local economies to utilize clusters as a cornerstone of
                 their economic growth. The reason for this is that according to research,
                 it has been shown that a clear positive link exists between cluster
                 development and MSME growth, job creation, export development,
                 investment attraction, competitiveness and productivity.
                 During our training day we give an overview of how we can forge a more
                 innovative environment for future clusters. We not only give you tools for


                                            4
                     the future, but also give you relevant executive information and how-to-
                     action-a learning process can be implemented.
                     □ Option 2: INSME Training Program on "Access to Research and
                     Innovation for SMEs: Challenges and Tools"
                     Description: Although innovation has been seen as the means to turn
                     R&D results into commercially successful products, not all research leads
                     to innovation and not all innovation is research-based. Nowadays, R&D is
                     not the main source of Innovation.. Innovation encompasses more than
                     just the successful application of research results and technological
                     development. Enterprise competitiveness derives also from the adoption
                     of innovative ways of doing business, or from innovative ways of
                     marketing products and services.

                     The training will focus on: the technology transfer process and a
                     comparison among International Technology commercialisation Models;
                     The utilisation of Open innovation approaches by SMEs; how to present a
                     business proposition in a convincing way, in a few minutes, knowing that
                     entrepreneurs and investors have different points of view and interests.

       I will use the following payment method to cover the training fee:
       □ in cash in Euros, directly at the Conference venue
       □ by bank transfer (14 euros will be charged for sending you the invoice by mail)
