RIF: New funding programme to support innovation support structures

€10,000 per start-up that joins specialised support programmes

 

The Research and Innovation Foundation (RIF) announces a new call for €300,000 to support innovation support structures, including incubators and start-up accelerators.

The main purpose of the funding is to further develop local innovation support structures to enable them to offer high-quality services to start-ups. These services are crucial for their market penetration, and income generation as well as attracting private investment.

The maximum funding is up to €10,000 per start-up included in a specialised support programme and up to €100,000 per support structure.

Proposals can be submitted via the IRIS portal and the deadline is 26 June 2024.

The Call is funded by the NextGenerationEU Recovery and Resilience Mechanism and the Cyprus Recovery and Resilience Plan.
