Supporting SMEs going global: Innowwide call is expected to be opened towards the end of summer in 2023

If you are an innovative SME, you can apply to Innowwide for a grant of 60,000 euro to assess the viability of your research or commercial ambitions in international markets. Choose a target region and country and find a local counterpart.

The funding is for SMEs in European Union Member States or Horizon Europe Associated Countries partnering with a counterpart in Africa, North and South America, the Middle East or Asia-Pacific. Even though only SMEs in European Union Member States or Horizon Europe Associated Countries benefit from funding, you are allowed to subcontract to your partner in your selected target country. Subcontracted partners sign a commitment before you submit your project application.

Innowwide is funded by the European Union as part of the European Partnership on Innovative SMEs.

Innowwide can be a useful tool for your R&D journey:

  • As you develop your project idea, to assess whether your local partner (or subcontracted organisation) can cooperate with you in a future international R&D project
  • After successfully finishing your R&D project, to understand whether your product-, process- or service-market combination could be commercialised in your selected target market

Over a six-month period, you can:

  • conduct market feasibility studies for innovative projects or solutions and
  • work with local experts in your selected target country.

Call is expected to be opened soon

The first call for projects for Innowwide funding programme is now closed but we will be opening a new call for projects towards the end of summer in 2023.
