Eureka Network Projects

The Eureka Network Projects is a flexible funding programme for international R&D projects. This programme eases collaboration between organisations in Eureka countries and offers the freedom to design your project proposal and build your ideal consortium. We have various bilateral/multilateral CIP calls under the Eureka Network Projects (e.g. Singapore–Türkiye, Singapore–Republic of Korea, etc.).

The Network Projects also has an “Open Call” mechanism that allows projects to be submitted all year round. Singapore companies can submit projects through the Open Call, provided that the partner country is able to fund it too.

Eureka Network is the world’s biggest public network for international cooperation in R&D and innovation, present in over 45 countries.

Eureka was established in 1985 as an agreement between 18 countries and the European Commission to foster competitiveness and market integration and to encourage R&D cooperation. Since then, it has expanded to include 47 countries (in Europe and beyond) who share the same goals and provide national funding to organisations to support international industry-led R&D and co-innovation.

The project consortium must involve at least one company from Singapore and one company from any participating country. All companies should be independent from each other. Each project partner should contribute no more than 70% of the total project contribution.

All Singapore companies must meet all of the following eligibility criteria in order to apply:

• Business entity registered and operating in Singapore
• Company has at least 30% local equity held directly or indirectly by Singaporean(s) and/or Singapore PR(s), determined by the ultimate individual ownership
• Company is financially ready to start and complete the project
• Companies must cooperate on a joint innovation project that will focus on developing innovative products and applications within civilian purposes.

To submit an application, both Singapore companies and their foreign partner(s) have to submit a joint application through the Eureka SmartSimple platform.

In addition, Singapore companies must also submit an application on the Business Grants Portal. For enquiries and further instructions, you may contact Mr Koe Zi Yan at koe_zi_yan@enterprisesg.gov.sg.

*Concurrently, all foreign partner companies will have to adhere to the additional application requirements outlined by their respective countries’ funding agencies. Both agency-specific submissions and the Eureka SmartSimple applications have to be completed for the application to be considered complete.
