The "Research-Innovate" action has a budget of 300 million euros and funding applications can be submitted by individual SMEs, business groups or even business partnerships with research organizations.
The main objective is to link research and innovation with entrepreneurship and to strengthen the competitiveness, productivity and extroversion of businesses towards international markets, with the aim of transitioning to quality innovative entrepreneurship and increasing domestic added value.
Funding applications should relate to research and innovation projects and be part of one of the four interventions:
I. Research and Development by Enterprises
II. Business Partnerships with Research Organizations
III. Utilization of Research Results
IV. Seal of Excellence for businesses
The submission of Funding Applications (proposals) is done electronically in the Greek language through the Integrated Information System of State Aids (ISIS).
