In cooperation with the Croatian Ministry of Economy, Entrepreneurship, and Crafts we organized the presentation of the innovation voucher program for small and medium-sized enterprises (SME) funded by the European Regional Development Fund (ERDF).

The Innovation Vouchers program encourages small and medium-sized businesses to engage in collaborative research with higher education institutes, test laboratories, and other scientific institutions.

Innovation vouchers encourage SMEs to invest in research and development of solutions, creating partnerships with scientific institutions in order to achieve innovative solutions using their expertise and knowledge. Those activities should lead to increased productivity, competitiveness and quality of SMEs products and services.

The innovation voucher program for SMEs presented Marina Penić Levada, EU and national funds specialist from KONČAR – Institute and Bruno Grubešić, representative of Ministry of Economy, Entrepreneurship, and Crafts, who answered numerous questions related to the vouchers. Afterward, Vedran Momčilović, Head of EMC, safety & calibration department presented our laboratory testing services to the present representatives of SMEs.
