Interregional Innovation Investments Strand 1

Code: 34514 | Identifier Code: I3-2024-INV1 | Programme name: Interregional Innovation Investments Instrument (I3) | Start submission calls: 06/06/2024 | End submission calls: 05/12/2024

Strand 1 of the I3 instrument seeks to increase the competitiveness and the resilience of EU value chains on the basis of interregional cooperation and shared smart specialisation areas.

The objective of the I3 Instrument Strand 1 call for proposals is to support interregional innovation investments by offering consortia of innovation actors from the quadruple helix ecosystems the necessary financial and advisory support to bring their innovations to a mature level, ready for commercialisation and scale-up, while bridging and reducing the innovation divide in Europe with a strong cohesion policy focus of integrating all regions and in particular the less developed regions into European value chains.

I3 Capacity Building Strand 2b

Code: 31625 | Identifier Code: I3-2023-CAP2b | Programme name: Interregional Innovation Investments Instrument (I3) | Start submission calls: 15/11/2023 | End submission calls: 14/11/2024

The overall objective of the I3 Strand 2b is to build capacity in less developed regions to develop and strengthen their regional innovation ecosystems and value chains through coordinated and interlinked investments in several regions.

In particular, this call for proposals aims to improve the capacity of public authorities and innovation intermediaries (e.g. clusters) to support companies in the identification of investment portfolios at an interregional scale e.g. in particular by tackling EU burning challenges and fostering deep tech solutions.
