Innovation & research

Innovation and research are key to creating more jobs, building a greener society and improving our quality of life, while maintaining the EU’s competitiveness in the global market. Find out how to protect your ideas or which initiatives support research and innovation. Or get inspired by other innovative businesses to grow and further develop your own.

Use the ‘country’ filter below to refine your search and view country-specific information only. 

If you are unable to find country- or sector-specific information, try using other search criteria.

To help with this, we have added tags which enable you to search for specific information throughout the platform, so that you can view all the relevant information on one topic without having to browse through all the sections and sub-sections.

As some information is relevant to both women and men, please keep in mind that some results will target women in particular, while others will be relevant to entrepreneurs in general.
