Abstract

The subject matter of the present paper pertains to international cooperation of small and medium enterprises from selected countries of the European Union. The objective of the study was to identify factors determining international cooperation in European states, and to evaluate differences regarding the cooperation depending on the specific country. The desk research method was applied. Data collected between 2008 and 2014 by Enterprise Europe Network (EEN) was analysed. EEN constitutes the largest business support network in the world. Results of the analysis indicated the existence of differences among the individual forms of cooperation undertaken by companies located in selected European countries. The data collected was supplemented with a case study of a Polish technological company benefiting from the cooperation with the network.
