General idea:
Use of transnational innovation vouchers as an innovative funding tool to boost innovation and transnational/cross-sectoral cooperation development of Blue sectors

Description:
Transnational innovation voucher pilot action has been tested within the Blue-Boost project as an innovative tool to fund innovation and transnational/cross-sectoral cooperation development of Blue sectors. Blue-Boost has launched a dedicated call for transnational innovation vouchers having the goal to help MSMEs to design and/or create, through small innovation projects, new products, services, processes or business models. The Innovation Voucher offers to MSMEs/Start-ups the possibility to explore a business opportunity or solve a small-scale innovation related problem by acquiring knowledge/expertise from a registered Knowledge Provider. Apulia Region was the Blue Boost project partner, supported by ARTI, for carrying out the project activities including this call and the innovation voucher
