EU fund and EU Call for proposals For small and medium enterprises
As SME owner, it is possible to benefit from EU funding through grants, loans or, guarantees.
Support is available either directly (with EU grants) or through programmes managed at national level. SMEs can also benefit from a series of non-financial assistance measures in the form of programmes and business support services.
Small businesses and start-ups will be the major beneficiaries from the new Competitiveness and Innovation framework programme (CIP) which will run between 2014 and 2020. More than 1.1 billion euros of EU funding will be directed to loans and risk capital investments to help 350,000 SMEs start up, grow and innovate.
In addition to that, 2.6 billion euros will fund actions to help SMEs bring innovative ideas to the market, to apply ICT and renewable energy technologies, and benefit even more from the internal market. Direct access programmes This funding is mostly thematic with specific objectives - environment, research, training - designed and implemented by various Departments of the European Commission or executive agencies. Grant requests must present sustainable, value-added and transnational projects.
Structural Funds Direct aid to SMEs in order to co-finance their investments is only possible in the economically less developed regions (the so-called 'convergence' regions).
In other regions, priority has been given to actions having a high leverage effect (e.g. entrepreneurship training, support services, business incubators, technology transfer mechanisms, networking, etc.), as opposed to direct aid to individual SMEs.
The following list provides you with all the European funds available in the field of SMEs:
