New Collaboration: Latin America IP SME Helpdesk Joins Forces with Eureka Network

The Latin America IP SME Helpdesk joins forces with a new collaborator: Eureka, a network of ministries and funding agencies for international cooperation in research and development (R&D) and innovation, present in over 45 countries. Eureka provides access to public funding for international R&D projects to small and medium enterprises (SMEs). Current international funding opportunities:

• Funding for international research cooperation between Brazilian, Belgian, Czech, Dutch, Portuguese, South African, Spanish, and Turkish organisations
• Funding for international research cooperation between Chilean, Belgian, French, and Spanish organisations

Eureka also launches a call for market exploration projects once a year with their Innowwide programme, where innovative SMEs from Europe explore new markets in Africa, the Americas, Asia or Oceania.

For the SMEs considering applying to one of Eureka’s funding programmes, we as Latin America IP SME Helpdesk can offer guidance on how to manage the intellectual assets effectively in Latin American markets.
