Your Enterprise Europe Network team places in European Competition

Okay, so not quite what you thought...

You may be familiar with the Enterprise Europe Network podcasts (and if not, I strongly recommend you have a listen!).

We started podcasting last March, highlighting how Scottish companies can take advantage of Enterprise Europe Network services. Since then, the podcasts have evolved to also include features with our colleagues at Scottish Enterprise, holiday specials around Christmas and Halloween, and even include a dream sequence and time travel.

Our podcasts were entered into the European Podcast Awards for 2011. To all those who voted, thank you very much!

The results were announced on Thursday, 15 March 2012 and we're delighted to inform you that the team finished with a podium place! Out of 40 UK entries, EEN Scotland finished 3rd in the Non-Profit Category and 14th overall in Europe in the same category.

The approach has been described as "quirky but informative" by a number of stakeholder organisations, including the EUREKA Directorate in Brussels and, since last March, there have more than 11,000 visits to the podcast website.

Not satisfied with a podium place at National Level, EEN Scotland plan to take the Awards by storm again this year, confident that they are now equipped to conquer not only the UK but to take the main European Prize!

If you haven't had the pleasure yet, please listen to the EEN Scotland podcasts.
