A ZIM network (also called innovationtion network or cooperation network) is an association of at least six small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) or, in the case of an international network of at least four German small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs), two foreign enterprises and, in addition to the German network management institution, one foreign coordinator. Other partners may also participate (e.g. university institutes, research institutions, large companies and other institutions such as associations).

The aim of the cooperation is to jointly develop and market innovative products, processes or technical services in a technologically or regionally oriented network or along a value chain. There is no restriction to certain fields of technology and industries.
