Innowwide is funded by the European Commission. It supports innovative SMEs and start-ups in accessing an international target market.

Innowwide is funded by the European Commission to support innovative SMEs and startups in accessing an international target market. Innowwide is supported by the European Commission as part of the European Partnership Innovative SMEs. Innowwide will be implemented from 2022 to 2027 under the EU Framework Program for Research and Innovation Horizon Europe. The innovation network Eureka carries out the annual calls for proposals.

Bilateral projects (so-called Market Feasibility Projects) are funded with a fixed amount of €60,000 and a duration of six months. In the projects, European companies work together with at least one local partner from the international target country. These are subcontractors. Innowwide supports joint activities to assess the feasibility of market entry. This includes studies and analyses of market potential, competition, protection of intellectual property and technical and legal framework conditions.
