According to the statistics from the European Agency for Competitiveness and Innovation (EACI), Russian Federation (Gate2RuBIN consortium) is the most effective partner among the non-EU countries participating in the Enterprise Europe Network (EEN). This information was presented at a conference held in Brussels on 2 and 3 July 2012 (for details, see: http://www.rttn.ru/newsrttn/id_1131)

Within one and a half years (January 2011 - June 2012), the Russian consortium has prepared nearly 800 proposals from companies and organizations interested in cooperation with European partners (513 profiles for business co-operation and 280 for technological cooperation). For comparison: the other "third countries" together prepared about 500 profiles. Russia has the second highest participation in brokerage events (the first is China). Nearly 400 persons from Russia too part in business missions and brokerage meetings held in the EU.

The main EEN efficiency indicator is the number of established partnerships aimed at cooperation and implantation of joint projects. The total contribution of the "third countries" into this EEN indicator is very small - around 3nedeed_percents (79 of 2700 partnerships). In terms of established partnerships, Russia and Switzerland share the first place (24 partnerships each).

The Russian consortium is opened for cooperation with other Network partners and capable of providing professional assistance according to the Network standards.
