INNOVOUCHER Pilot Call

Submitted by Raluca Coscodaru on 16 March 2018

INNOVOUCHER project has worked to develop a new model of innovation voucher programme supporting the transnational exchange of innovation services in Europe. The project aims to help European regions and national governments to face their innovation challenges and achieve their goals in their innovation support to companies by putting into place a collaborative framework across Europe. This way, regions and enterprises can take advantage of the globalization benefits and Europe can promote competitiveness and cooperation in an effective and cross-national way.

With a view to spread the future adoption of the improved model based on the empirical findings of the project, this Call is aimed to test the model in the five partner regions (“target regions”). Besides the dissemination of the results and impacts of this pilot project will encourage other regions to adopt the model. Such a pilot action foresees the provision of financial support to enterprises and their associations, as a mean to achieve its objectives.
