By further expanding and deepening its international network, HEPA’s strategic goal is to support the internationalization of SMEs with project generation funded by EU and other international programmes. In this context, HEPA helps develop sectoral strategies and incentives in line with international trends to create cooperation platforms available to SMEs by providing pilot project opportunities especially in the area of environmental sustainability, digitalization, R&D, access to finance. HEPA’s partnerships confirmed by Memoranda of Understanding with domestic and international partners (e.g. Hungarian Development Promotion Office, GGGI) contribute to a successful implementation of this strategy. 

In addition, HEPA manages technical assistance programmes targeting the Western Balkans region, furthermore that of the Drought Prevention Institute of the Organization of Turkic States (OTS) aiming at fighting drought in the OTS region, by adopting and utilizing competitive products, technologies and know-how. Clients’ outward investment endeavours are also supported by a coordinated dialogue with investment promotion agencies of the target countries.
