How It Works
What is innovation?
Innovation is defined as the process of translating an idea or invention into a good or service that creates value for customers.
In order to be financed by the European Union through framework programs, for example, a project should propose an innovation which has a broad impact, ideally at European level. Depending on the financing instrument we propose, the innovation level might have a higher or lower degree of importance.
