26 Jan New call of the SME Fund “Ideas Powered for Business” – 2023
What is the SME Fund?
The “Ideas Powered for Business” SME Fund is a grant programme designed to help small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) in the EU in the field of Intellectual Property (IP) rights.
It is a European Commission initiative implemented by the European Union Intellectual Property Office (EUIPO) and consists of a reimbursement programme that issues vouchers that can be used to partially cover the fees for selected activities. This is the third year that the call is open.
What does it offer?
As we have already informed in previous news, beneficiaries of the Trade Mark and Design VOUCHER will receive a 75% discount on the basic application fees for these protection modalities at EU level. The maximum reimbursable amount is €1,000.
It is important to note that funds are limited and available on a first come, first served basis. Therefore, if you are interested in this programme, you should apply for the voucher soonest.
For more information, please contact us or consult the guidelines published on the EUIPO SME FUND pages.
