Funding programmes

We are specialised in the following programmes:​

EUROSTARS

EUROSTARS is the largest international funding programme for SMEs wishing to collaborate on R&D projects for creating innovative products, processes or services for commercialisation. 

  • It is primarily a programme for R&D-performing SMEs. This does not exclude the participation of universities or research organisations in a project, but the main project partner must be a R&D-performing SME.
  • At least 50% of your total project budget (excluding subcontracting) must come from the SME. If there is more than one R&D-performing SME in the consortium, their combined budgets must equal at least 50% of the total project budget.
  • No single organisation or participants from a single country can be responsible for more than 75% of the total budget.
  • In general, each country funds up to €0.5M, but there are some exceptions as national funding rules apply.
