Innowwide 2026 Funding Call: SMEs Can Apply for Up to โฌ60,000 for International Market Feasibility Projects ๐๐ถ
Innowwide 2026 Funding Call: SMEs Can Apply for Up to โฌ60,000 for International Market Feasibility Projects ๐๐ถ. Applications are open for the 5th Innowwide Call for Market Feasibility Projects โ Autumn 2026, offering innovative small and medium-sized enterprises and startups from eligible European countries and associated markets the opportunity to receive:
๐ฐ โฌ60,000 IN FUNDING
to test the feasibility of an innovative product, process or service in a new international market.
The programme is designed for SMEs that want to explore whether their innovation can successfully enter a target country in:
๐ AFRICA
๐ THE AMERICAS
๐ ASIA
or:
๐ OCEANIA.
Projects must last:
โณ 6 MONTHS
and should assess the practical, technical, commercial, legal and socioeconomic feasibility of entering the selected market.
For the 2026 call, Innowwide has a total budget of:
๐ถ โฌ4.2 MILLION
and expects to fund:
๐ 70 MARKET FEASIBILITY PROJECTS
with each successful SME receiving a fixed:
๐ฐ โฌ60,000 GRANT.
Applications opened on:
๐ 1 OCTOBER 2026
and close on:
๐จ 1 DECEMBER 2026 AT 14:00 CET.
โ ๏ธ Important Accuracy Note
The Innowwide grant is:
๐ฐ โฌ60,000 PER SUCCESSFUL PROJECT
but this does not mean the programme covers 100% of project costs.
The maximum Innowwide funding rate is:
๐ 70% OF ELIGIBLE PROJECT COSTS.
Because of this, the total eligible project budget must be at least:
๐ถ โฌ86,000.
The applicant SME must therefore finance project expenditure beyond the โฌ60,000 grant. In practical terms, an SME with the minimum โฌ86,000 eligible project budget would need to contribute at least approximately:
๐ถ โฌ26,000
from its own or other eligible resources.
Another major point for the 2026 call is that the applicant SME must:
โ HAVE BEEN LEGALLY ESTABLISHED FOR AT LEAST TWO YEARS BY THE DEADLINE
and:
โ MUST NOT HAVE RECEIVED FUNDING UNDER A PREVIOUS INNOWWIDE CALL IN 2022, 2023, 2024 OR 2025.
This is an important change to check carefully before applying.

๐๏ธ What Is Innowwide?
Innowwide 2026 Funding Call: SMEs Can Apply for Up to โฌ60,000 for International Market Feasibility Projects ๐๐ถ
Innowwide is an international market-feasibility funding programme delivered through the Eureka Network and funded by the European Union as part of the:
๐ช๐บ EUROPEAN PARTNERSHIP ON INNOVATIVE SMEs.
Its purpose is to help innovative European SMEs better understand whether their:
๐ฆ PRODUCT
โ๏ธ PROCESS
or:
๐ป SERVICE
can be adapted and commercialised successfully in a new international market.
The programme can support SMEs at different stages of their innovation journey.
For example, a company may use Innowwide before launching a larger:
๐ฌ RESEARCH & DEVELOPMENT PROJECT
or after completing an R&D project and wanting to determine whether its new solution could succeed commercially in another country.
๐ What Is a Market Feasibility Project?
An Innowwide market feasibility project is a structured assessment designed to determine whether an innovative business solution can realistically succeed in a selected target market.
The project can investigate:
๐ฌ TECHNICAL FEASIBILITY
๐ MARKET CONDITIONS
โ๏ธ LEGAL & REGULATORY REQUIREMENTS
๐ฐ FINANCIAL CONDITIONS
๐๏ธ POLITICAL CONDITIONS
๐ฅ CULTURAL & BEHAVIOURAL FACTORS
and:
๐ SOCIOECONOMIC CONDITIONS.
The objective is to help the SME understand what may:
โ SUPPORT
or:
โ PREVENT
the successful deployment of its innovation in the new market.
๐ฐ How Much Funding Is Available?
Each selected project receives:
๐ถ โฌ60,000.
For Call 5, Eureka has allocated:
๐ถ โฌ4.2 MILLION
to support:
70 PROJECTS.
๐ What Is the Funding Rate?
The maximum funding rate is:
70%.
Therefore, the project must have eligible costs of at least:
๐ถ โฌ86,000.
The applicant SME must finance costs beyond the โฌ60,000 grant itself.
๐ณ How Is the โฌ60,000 Paid?
Funding is released in two stages.
1๏ธโฃ Initial Pre-Financing
Successful applicants receive:
๐ถ โฌ42,000
at the beginning of the project.
This represents:
70% OF THE GRANT.
2๏ธโฃ Final Payment
The remaining:
๐ถ โฌ18,000
is paid after the mandatory six-month project has been completed and the final report has been submitted and accepted.
If the final report is incomplete or inadequate, Eureka may request additional information.
If the required information still does not satisfy the programme requirements, the grant can potentially be:
โ ๏ธ REDUCED
or:
โ ๏ธ WITHDRAWN,
and the beneficiary may be required to repay pre-financing.
๐ผ What Costs Can the Grant Cover?
Eligible costs include:
๐ฉโ๐ผ Personnel Costs
Staff time directly related to the project.
๐ค Subcontracting Costs
Including the required local counterpart in the target market.
โ๏ธ Travel & Subsistence
Costs necessary for project implementation.
๐งฐ Equipment Depreciation
Eligible equipment-related costs calculated according to the applicable rules.
๐ Other Goods, Works & Services
Costs directly required to carry out the feasibility project.
๐งพ Indirect Costs
Indirect costs are calculated using a:
25% FLAT RATE
on eligible direct costs, excluding subcontracting.
๐ Which Countries Can Applicant SMEs Come From?
The applicant SME must be legally established in:
๐ช๐บ AN EU MEMBER STATE
or one of the following:
๐ฎ๐ธ Iceland
๐ฎ๐ฑ Israel
๐ณ๐ด Norway
๐จ๐ญ Switzerland
๐น๐ท Tรผrkiye
or:
๐ฌ๐ง United Kingdom.
๐ Which Countries Can Be Target Markets?
The target market must be located in:
๐ AFRICA
๐ THE AMERICAS
๐ ASIA
or:
๐ OCEANIA.
The purpose is to help eligible European SMEs explore:
NON-EUROPEAN INTERNATIONAL MARKETS.
๐ค Is a Local Partner Required?
โ YES.
Every Innowwide project must include:
ONE INDEPENDENT LOCAL COUNTERPART
based in the selected target country.
This counterpart acts as the:
MAIN SUBCONTRACTOR
for the project.
Possible local counterparts include:
๐ญ SUPPLIERS
๐ CUSTOMERS
๐ฅ END USERS
๐ฌ RESEARCH PROVIDERS
or:
โ๏ธ COMPLEMENTARY TECHNOLOGY DEVELOPERS.
โ ๏ธ Is the Local Partner a Grant Beneficiary?
No.
Innowwide is a:
MONO-BENEFICIARY PROGRAMME.
The grant agreement is signed with the applicant SME only.
The local counterpart participates as a subcontractor and does not become a direct party to the grant agreement.
๐ฏ What Type of Project Is Eligible?
The project must focus on:
PRODUCT-MARKET
PROCESS-MARKET
or:
SERVICE-MARKET DEVELOPMENT.
It should examine whether an innovative solution can be successfully deployed in the target country.
๐ฌ Technology Readiness Level Requirement
For Call 5, the innovation being assessed must have reached at least:
TRL 4.
This means the technology should already have been validated in:
A LABORATORY
or:
A RELEVANT ENVIRONMENT.
The innovation must not exceed:
TRL 8
in the selected target market.
Where the project is expected to lead to further research and innovation activities, Eureka says:
TRL 7
is an indicative upper limit.
๐ซ What Type of Project Is Not Suitable?
Innowwide is not intended simply to finance:
โ SALES TRIPS
โ PROMOTIONAL VISITS
โ BUSINESS-MATCHMAKING EVENTS ONLY
โ CONFERENCES ONLY
or:
โ GENERAL MARKET TRAVEL.
The project must involve a genuine:
FEASIBILITY ASSESSMENT
with a combination of technical, commercial or market-related activities.
๐ข Who Can Apply?
The applicant must be:
โ A LEGALLY CONSTITUTED SME
under the EU SME definition.
Startups and young companies can qualify provided they meet all Call 5 requirements.
๐ Two-Year Establishment Rule
For Call 5, the SME must have been legally established for:
AT LEAST TWO YEARS
before the call deadline.
Because the deadline is:
1 DECEMBER 2026,
the company must generally have been established on or before:
๐ 1 DECEMBER 2024.
๐จ Previous Innowwide Funding Restriction
For this 2026 call, the applicant SME must:
โ NOT HAVE RECEIVED INNOWWIDE FUNDING PREVIOUSLY
under calls held in:
2022
2023
2024
or:
2025.
Companies should check this carefully because earlier Innowwide calls operated under different repeat-applicant rules.
โ๏ธ Civil Applications Only
Projects must focus exclusively on:
CIVIL APPLICATIONS.
๐ถ Minimum Project Budget
Innowwide 2026 Funding Call: SMEs Can Apply for Up to โฌ60,000 for International Market Feasibility Projects ๐๐ถ
The minimum total eligible project cost is:
๐ฐ โฌ86,000.
๐ค Minimum Subcontracting Requirement
Subcontracting costs must be:
GREATER THAN โฌ0
because the project requires meaningful involvement from a local counterpart.
๐ Can the Project Target Africa?
โ YES.
Africa is one of the four eligible target regions.
This means an eligible SME based in Europe or another eligible applicant country could propose a six-month market feasibility project in countries such as:
๐ฟ๐ฆ SOUTH AFRICA
๐ฐ๐ช KENYA
๐ณ๐ฌ NIGERIA
๐ฌ๐ญ GHANA
๐ท๐ผ RWANDA
๐ฟ๐ฒ ZAMBIA
or:
๐ฟ๐ผ ZIMBABWE,
provided the project and local counterpart satisfy the call requirements.
๐ฟ๐ผ Can Zimbabwean Companies Apply Directly?
โ NOT AS THE MAIN INNOWWIDE BENEFICIARY.
An SME legally established only in Zimbabwe is not included among the countries from which the direct Innowwide applicant can be based.
However:
โ ZIMBABWE CAN BE A TARGET MARKET.
A Zimbabwean:
๐ญ COMPANY
๐ฌ RESEARCH ORGANISATION
๐ CUSTOMER
๐ฅ END USER
or:
โ๏ธ TECHNOLOGY PARTNER
could potentially participate as the required:
LOCAL SUBCONTRACTOR
for an eligible applicant SME from the EU, Iceland, Israel, Norway, Switzerland, Tรผrkiye or the UK.
This distinction is particularly important for African organisations interested in collaborating with European innovators.
๐ Can Other African Organisations Participate?
Yes.
African organisations can potentially participate as:
LOCAL COUNTERPARTS / SUBCONTRACTORS
in projects where an eligible SME is testing an innovation in their country.
This can create partnership opportunities for:
๐ข SMEs
๐ UNIVERSITIES
๐ฌ RESEARCH INSTITUTIONS
๐ฅ SERVICE PROVIDERS
๐ฑ NGOs
and:
๐ญ INDUSTRIAL PARTNERS
depending on the proposed project.
๐ What Can SMEs Study Through Innowwide?
Possible market-feasibility questions include:
๐ Market Demand
Is there sufficient demand for the innovation?
โ๏ธ Regulation
What permits, certifications or legal requirements apply?
๐ญ Technical Adaptation
Does the product need to be redesigned or adapted for local conditions?
๐ต Pricing
