European project INNOWWIDE
Financing internationalisation projects
The EU Horizon 2020 project INNOWWIDE offers funding for internationalisation projects of innovative European SMEs and start-ups from all sectors to bring them to the top of international markets. Two calls for INNOWWIDE project proposals will take place in 2019 to allow SMEs to submit their projects. These so-called Viability Assessment Projects (VAPs) must be carried out in cooperation with local partners and are intended to examine the feasibility of internationalisation in the respective target country.
