Background/Description

The Eurostars call for project is Eureka’s flagship co-innovation programme for SMEs wishing to collaborate on R&D projects that create innovative products, processes or services for commercialisation. Companies from Singapore and any of the other 36 Eureka member countries are welcome to participate and collaborate.

Companies from Singapore and any other Eureka member country are welcome to participate and collaborate with organisations of all types – from SMEs and large companies, to Research Institutes (RIs) and Institutes of Higher Learning (IHLs) – in leading and emerging markets.

While projects of all sectors are welcome to apply, we are especially interested in projects of a deep-tech nature involving RIs and IHls (fundable as a subcontractor or consultant). Successful projects can be partially funded by Enterprise Singapore.

More information about Eurostars and participating countries can be found here.
