The Co-Innovate Programme was supported by the European Union's INTERREG VA Programme, managed by the Special EU Programmes Body (SEUPB), and was awarded up to €19.6 million of European Regional Development Funding in order to support over 1,400 SMEs and micro-businesses in Northern Ireland, the Border Region of Ireland and Western Scotland. The programme was set to target manufacturing and tradable services SMEs with export potential, and provide education and capability support tailored to meet the needs of all participating organisations. It had the primary aim of increasing the number of businesses actively participating in cross-border, transnational or interregional research projects and give SMEs and micro-businesses access to innovation capability development and help to implement enhanced R&I activity.
The Co-Innovate programme is now closed to applications and any enquiries should be directed to info@intertradeireland.com.
