10 Oct New call for programs of the Innovation Fund
A new public call for the allocation of grants through the funding programs of the Innovation Fund is open to innovative companies and teams until November 15, 2022. Funds in the amount of 3.2 million euros are jointly provided by the Republic of Serbia and the European Union, through the IPA project ‘Increasing the capacity and technological readiness of small and medium-sized enterprises’.
As part of the third application cycle for the Mini Grants Programme and Matching Grants Programme, the Innovation Fund provides a financial incentive for transforming innovative ideas into sustainable projects. The programs have clearly defined criteria and are intended for developing new products, services, or technologies with strong innovative potential and for which there is a real need on the market.
The fund allocates from 80,000 to 300,000 euros per individual project, depending on the program, and companies are obliged to provide part of the funds from other private sources during implementation.
Project applications from all fields of science and technology and all industrial sectors must be submitted through the portal, and the necessary application documentation and all important information about the public call can be found at the link: http://www.inovacionifond.rs/cir/
The Fund’s team will provide daily support to all interested applicants, and once a week will hold an ‘Open Door’ in order to clarify any potential doubts and present all the details about submitting an application.
