The I3 Instrument supports stronger interregional cooperation in investments and makes sustainable connections by linking regional ecosystems in shared smart specialisation areas vital to accelerate market uptake of research results and stimulate innovation.
The Interregional innovation investments instrument as part of the European Regional and Development Fund (ERDF) aims at supporting interregional innovation projects in their commercialisation and scale-up phases giving them the tools to overcome regulatory and other barriers and bring their project to investment level.
The agency will implement two call strands:
Financial and advisory support for investments in interregional innovation projects. The overall objective of the Strand 1 call is to provide financial and advisory support for interregional innovation investments in shared and complementary smart specialisation areas along European value chains on the following thematic priorities: digital transition, green transition or smart manufacturing.
Financial and advisory support to the development of value chains in less developed regions. Regarding Strand 2a, the overall objective is to provide financial and advisory support for interregional innovation investments in shared and complementary smart specialisation areas along European value chains.
