The Latin America IP SME Helpdesk joins forces with a new collaborator: Eureka, a network of ministries and funding agencies for international cooperation in R&D and innovation, present in over 45 countries. Eureka provides access to public funding for international R&D projects to SMEs. Eureka also launches a call for market exploration projects once a year with their Innowwide programme, where innovative SMEs from Europe explore new markets in Africa, the Americas, Asia or Oceania. For the SMEs considering applying to one of Eureka’s funding programmes, we can offer guidance on how to manage the IP assets effectively in Latin American markets.
