An innovative idea doesn't stop at the border
STIPP Call 4 is open to small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) that want to develop an innovative product, service, or process in collaboration with partners from the Meuse-Rhine region.
This offers entrepreneurs a great opportunity. Cross-border collaboration can provide access to new knowledge, technology, markets, and complementary expertise. STIPP also helps make this collaboration financially feasible: €3 million is available for Call 4, and projects can receive up to 50% co-financing.
As STIPP’s lead partner, LIOF helps entrepreneurs find the right international partners, build a strong consortium, and provides support with the application.
And this approach is working: in the previous call for proposals, 10 cross-border innovation projects were selected, with €2.2 million in funding awarded and 26 companies from the region participating.
Contact René Kessen at LIOF to find out if your idea is a good fit for STIPP. The deadline for Call 4 is October 29, 2026, at 12:00 p.m.
