SMEs and Innovation
These programmes aim at improving the marketability and innovative capacity of companies - by helping set up innovative companies, expanding applied R&D expertise, and the intensified networking of companies, start-up centres, universities of applied sciences, as well as university and non-university research institutions. The programme has a particular focus on small and medium-sized enterprises in their regional context. Knowledge must be translated into innovation more rapidly and effectively to strengthen Austria’s innovative capacity as a whole.
