We support small and medium-sized enterprises in developing and introducing innovative technologies, solutions, processes, products and services

The Programme will be implemented in partnership with Innovation Norway as the Donor Programme Partner. Poland is one of the several countries carrying out programmes financed by the Norwegian government and the governments of EEA countries.
