Organisations applying to our programmes see a high success rate for receiving funding with only minimal paperwork on applying. In addition, private investors recognise the value of companies who participate in our programmes.

Drive international collaboration

Are your perfect project partners beyond your national borders? Eureka is the first experience of international collaboration for many of our participating organisations, and our programmes encourage you to develop new R&D and business relationships. International R&D projects see a high quality of innovation, so take the next step towards combining expertise, exchanging knowledge, enhancing your resources and capabilities and reducing risks.

03
