European Business and Innovation Centres Network

The European Business & Innovation Centres Network (EBN), an international non-profit seeking association, was established in 1984, to co-ordinate networking activities of national and regional BICs. By January 2000, EBN had over 200 organisations, including 150 BICs in 21 European countries and associated organisations from across the continent and further afield (Turkey, China, USA, South America ...).

EBN is now the leading network gathering BICs and similar organisations in Europe. It has become a reference point when talking about innovation, entrepreneurship, SMEs and regional economic development, in the EU as well as in partner countries.
