May 10, Internationalisation Grants for SMEs

The Eurocluster INGENIOUS is supporting Europe’s industry to gain sovereignty, to drive competitive sustainability, to be the world’s first climate-neutral continent by 2050, and to shape Europe’s digital future.

INGENIOUS has a special focus on SME support as they are the backbone of the economy and will support them with the new steps on building resilience and on the green and digital transition. The INGENIOUS project serves as a lever for the companies to implement highly innovative solutions via three financial instruments (Innovation Grants, Training Grants, and Internationalization Grants). The total amount of direct financial support for SMEs under the INGENIOUS programme is 1.05 Million Euros.
