In-Company Training

Pilot Overview 

Standards are key to innovation, market access, and competitiveness. But let’s be honest—standards can feel mysterious. What exactly are they, why should you participate, and how can they actually benefit your small business? Imagine a training that breaks it down clearly, shows why it matters, and gets you started—no prior knowledge required. That’s exactly what we are offering!

As part of the EDU4Standards Project, Small Business Standards (SBS) and Eindhoven University of Technology (TU/e) are offering a free, interactive online training for SMEs. In just two sessions (5 hours in total), you will discover how standards shape industries, influence regulation, and open new opportunities for SMEs — and learn how you can take part in the process.
