Eurostars

Does your small or medium-sized enterprise (SME) want to strengthen its competitiveness and develop an innovative product or service with foreign partner companies or research teams? The Eurostars programme can help you do just that. Eurostars promotes cooperation across all thematic areas with partners from 33 European countries, as well as from Canada, South Africa and South Korea. This initiative is aimed in particular at SMEs developing products or services that offer a decisive advantage over existing solutions.

You can submit your application for the Eurostars programme through calls for projects, which are usually held twice a year.

This support offer is aimed at innovative SMEs, large companies and research institutions.

The Eurostars programme is a joint initiative of Eureka and the European Union and is part of the European Partnership on Innovative SMEs. The Eureka Secretariat oversees the evaluation of applications and reporting on projects for all participating countries, located centrally out of Brussels. Innosuisse is responsible for issuing contracts, paying out funding and performing financial reporting in Switzerland.
