European Alert Horizon 2020 – SME Instrument

E uropean Alert
Horizon 2020 – SME Instrument
Horizon 2020 offers a wide range of support for micro, small and
medium-sized enterprises (SMEs). In view of the fact that SMEs
play an important role in the structure of the economy, the European
programme places special emphasis on supporting the participation
of these entities in research projects and stimulating their innovation
and potential for commercialization of products and services.
Under Horizon 2020, SMEs have access to multiple sources of
support, including the dedicated SME Instrument. This form
of support is intended to stimulate innovation of enterprises
by providing them with funds for research projects in a number
of key (from the point of view of the current needs of Europe
and the member states) disciplines, as well as support during the
demonstration and implementation.
