The International Center for Promotion of Enterprises (ICPE) is announcing a working initiative under Innowwide (EUREKA Network), aimed at fostering cross-border collaboration in research and innovation. Through this program, ICPE invites companies from its member states to take advantage of matchmaking and advisory services that help identify, evaluate, and secure the most suitable EU-based partner for joint R&D projects.
Innowwide supports innovative small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) seeking to conduct market feasibility research in collaboration with international partners. These six-month projects aim to assess the viability of solutions in new markets, paving the path for future commercialization and R&D collaboration.
Under Innowwide, SMEs receive funding to collaborate with international partners on market-ready solutions. ICPE will assist the interested enterprises in the ICPE member states with the following:
- Facilitate Matchmaking: Conducting a thorough evaluation to match each participatory enterprise with a suitable SME in the European Union, ensuring complementary strengths and strategic alignment.
- Provide Guidance and Support: Offering advisory services on application procedures, compliance requirements, and project development—helping to maximize the chances of a successful grant application.
Early preparation for the call allows enterprises in the ICPE member states a beneficial advantage through securing the right partners, develop an effective project plan, and position themselves to benefit from the grant funding when the call opens in the coming months.
