What they do
Their core work
The Valencia Chamber of Commerce is a public body that provides innovation management support services to SMEs in the Valencia region of Spain. Their core H2020 activity has been delivering structured innovation assessments, diagnostic audits, and coaching plans to help small businesses identify capability gaps and build internal innovation systems. They operate as a regional intermediary, connecting SMEs with EU-funded innovation support programmes rather than conducting research themselves.

Evolution & trajectory
How they've shifted over time
Early focus
IMP3rove diagnostic audits
Recent focus
SME capability-building support
In the earlier period (2015–2018), their work centred on the IMP3rove methodology — structured diagnostic audits, gap analysis, and coaching plans delivered through the SEIMED INNOSUP programme. From 2019 onward, the language shifted toward broader "enhancing innovation capabilities" and KAM-based needs management, suggesting a move from standardised assessment tools to more tailored, relationship-driven SME support. The scope remained consistent — SME innovation support — but the approach matured from diagnostic frameworks to ongoing capability-building.
They are evolving from standardised innovation assessments toward more customised, ongoing SME innovation support services, making them a reliable regional partner for future INNOSUP-type calls.
Collaboration profile
How they like to work
Role: active_partnerReach: regional1 countries collaborated
Camara Valencia has participated exclusively as a partner, never as coordinator, across all four projects. With only 10 unique consortium partners across a single country, they operate in small, regionally focused teams. This suggests they are a dependable delivery partner for localised SME support activities rather than a consortium architect — useful when you need a trusted regional node to execute innovation services on the ground.
Their network is modest: 10 unique partners, all within a single country (Spain). This points to a tight regional network of chambers of commerce and SME support organisations operating together on nationally coordinated EU programmes.
Why partner with them
What sets them apart
Their value lies in direct, on-the-ground access to the Valencia SME ecosystem — one of Spain's most active industrial and commercial regions. As a public chamber of commerce rather than a consultancy, they carry institutional credibility and established relationships with local businesses. For any consortium needing a Spanish regional partner to deliver innovation support services to SMEs, they are a natural fit with a proven track record across two successive EU programme cycles.
