COMPETITIVENESS AND INNOVATION PROGRAMME (CIP)
New framework programme for 2007-2013 that aims at encouraging the competitiveness of European enterprises and to enhance innovation in all industrial areas, especially for a better take-up and use of information and communications technologies (ICT) and to help to develop the information society. It will also promote the increased use of renewable energies and energy efficiency. With small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) as its main target, the programme will support innovation activities (including eco-innovation), provide better access to finance and deliver business support services in the regions.
