What is the Innovation Voucher about?
Do you want to get started in research and innovation or intensify your efforts in this area to stay one step ahead of your competitors? Then use the Innovation Voucher to pay for consulting services from research institutions (universities, technical colleges, non-university research institutions) worth up to a maximum of EUR 10,000.
