STIPP

STIPP is the abbreviation for SME Transition Innovation Partner Projects

The STIPP instrument is designed to meet the needs of SMEs in the Meuse-Rhine region and to strengthen their competitiveness and innovativeness.

Six regional development companies (i.e. LIOF, AGIT, NMWP, Pom Limburg, VLAIO Team Bedrijfstrajecten, Wallonie Entreprendre) are joining forces to encourage SMEs in their development, scout potential innovators and facilitate matchmaking for cross-border consortia.

The goal of STIPP is to support high-quality innovation projects eligible for funding. STIPP grants are given to SME consortia within the Meuse-Rhine region, which develop innovation projects with one of the three societal challenges as their topic, namely Industrial Transition, Green Transformation or Healthier Residents.

This page contains the global information of the STIPP initiative from the Interreg Meuse-Rhine program in Dutch. For the tasks of the Regional Development Agencies and for applying for subsidies from the SME scheme, the language is English. All current information, including opening of the subsidy scheme and instructions for applications, can be found on the English-language site.
