Back

Europe is facing a number of economic, environmental and social challenges, most notably the crisis in Ukraine, with businesses severely affected by supply chain disruptions. To address these challenges the Enterprise Europe Network has established a Supply Chain Resilience platform. This helps companies retain, re-structure or replace existing supply chains, as well as source raw materials, parts, components and/or (semi-)finished goods or services they need to keep production going.

Main goals

  • Publish offers for raw materials, parts, components and/or (semi-)finished goods or services;
  • Promote requests from European companies to sustain their supply chains;
  • Match international suppliers with buyers of goods and services;
  • Establish cross-border contacts between businesses, industries, support organisations, academia, important stakeholders and key decision-makers.

Key topics

The platform focuses on the following sectors:

  • agri-food;
  • construction;
  • digital;
  • electronics;
  • energy-intensive industries;
  • health;
  • mobility, transport, automotive;
  • raw materials;
  • renewable energy;
  •  

Why should you join this Platform?

  • To connect with the international business community, find new partners for collaboration, and identify potential suppliers or buyers;
  • To showcase your most successful projects, innovative products, and cutting-edge technologies;
  • To join the debate and share insights on solutions and initiatives to address vulnerabilities in international supply chains.

All business profiles are validated by official Enterprise Europe Network partners to facilitate safe and reliable interactions between businesses.

EU companies interested in helping Ukrainian companies overcome chain disruptions are welcome to do so by simply filtering participating companies by country. Find out more about how the EU, Enterprise Europe Network and individual EU Member States support Ukrainian citizens and companies.
