Your market feasibility project must: o Have a target country (a pilot market) where you intend to develop and validate your innovative business solution in collaboration with local counterparts.

However, the TRL of that innovation must not exceed 8 in your target country.

Countries where SMEs are eligible for funding (e.g., Israel and Türkiye) cannot be target countries.

Market feasibility project applications must: a. be submitted by an SME from an EU Member State, Iceland, Israel, Norway, Switzerland, Türkiye or United Kingdom and

Market feasibility project applications must: … b. include an independent7 partner entity (main subcontractor for the market feasibility project), legally established in a target country in one of the target regions (Africa, Americas, Asia or Oceania)8.

You can only submit one application for your company.

To apply and receive Innowwide funding, you must be a legally constituted SME in an eligible country participating to the Innowwide Programme (EU members states, Iceland, Israel, Norway, Switzerland, Türkiye or United Kingdom).

Branches, departments/centres/offices set-up within or under a parent organisation and not provided with their own legal personality and natural persons (i.e. “individual” entrepreneurs / self-employed persons which perform an activity independently and with their own means: craftsmen, liberal professions, industrial and commercial professions etc.) are not considered eligible within Innowwide calls for proposals (see Annex 2).

SMEs that received funding in previous Innowwide calls (2022, 2023, or 2024) are eligible to apply again provided they target a different country than in their previously funded project, and propose either a different innovative solution, or a significantly different application of the same solution used in their earlier funded project.

Each market feasibility project must include at least an applicant SME and an independent subcontractor (local counterpart) in the target country.

Activities intended to be used in military application or aiming to serve military purposes cannot be funded.

Six-month project duration

Cooperation with a main subcontractor is an important part of your market feasibility project, so you must allocate a reasonable budget to your subcontractor.

To be eligible, your application must include elements from sections 1, 2 and 3 (market and technical activities) and can include (but not exclusively) elements from sections 4 and 5 (business development and promotion).
