| Approved centres: call open all year round |
| Conventional approval: call open from 6 May to 22 June 2024 |
Since 2012, the Innovation Vouchers action has enabled small and medium-sized enterprises in Brussels to access the expertise of a research centre quickly and inexpensively. This allows them to validate an innovative idea or make use of specific expertise to support their innovative project.
Innoviris wants to expand the number of participating research centres to better meet the needs of Brussels companies.
What are the conditions for recognition?
- the best practice of the research centre which
- has analytical accounting and internal control procedures to ensure that the accounts are kept correctly
