IDEAS For Europe at http://www.yourideasforeurope.eu/en

We do share the common goal about a Digital Single Market as a mean to improve EU competence, citizens wellfare and sustainable economy.

One proposal to promote SMEs innovation based on 

FACTS AND FIGURES : 
97 % of SME in Spain have less than 2M€ of Total Sales. 
Average of I+D+i investment is 1,3% = 26.000€. 
National funding programs requires minimum innovation Project budget as 175.000€ with minimum SME own resources of 30% = 52.500€. 

That means 3.000.000 potential innovation ideas are out of the national funding programs.

Following the concept "THINK EU ACT LOCAL" a closer organization to SMEs to listen and promote the very best IDEAS is needed. There are already EU initiatives close to the SMEs business and innovations, the Telecentres Network and the ENoLL European Network of living Labs that could provide microfunding solutions through mentoring, incubators,startup support and even crowdfuding

 My comment:

Main roadblock , from the actual Spanish economy, is financing . But not only for the entrepeneurs and innovators BUT for the CITIZENS PURCHASING POWER. 

Every IDEA needs financing media at every project phase, from concepts to development and market introduction, but the real fact that will make this IDEA to become a SUSTAINABLE INNOVATION is the MARKET SUCCESS, that is reflected from the CITIZENS ACCEPTANCE ,buying the solution.

Second roadblock R&D and education budgets reductions. R&D budget reduction at Spain ( 40% cut ) and the actual young unemployment percentage - around 50% - are promoting the migration of the best, some of them significant, to the EEUU that are participating in the most innovative research on biology - http://sociedad.elpais.com/sociedad/2013/05/16/actualidad/1368688312_822641.html - , aerospace - http://elpais.com/autor/amaya_moro-martin/a/ ........

We do need solutions to promote the EU entrepreneurs to remain, proving our society with their very best IDEAS.
