European Innovation Ecosystems (EIE)

Description of the Programme

This subprogramme aims to develop interconnected and efficient regional and local innovation ecosystems that are inclusive. To achieve this, synergies with other actions of Horizon Europe such as the EIC and the EIT, and with other European programmes such as the European Regional Development Fund (ERDF), are sought.

Within the programme, there are two types of actions:

  • CONNECT: These actions aim to progress in green and digital transformation through projects involving different actors and territories and improving the connectivity of innovation systems and the sustainability of economic growth.
  • INNOVSMES: Increasing innovative capacity and productivity is the objective of INNOVSMES actions.

More information can be found on the European Commission's website.
