International plans of ambitions? ELBE gladly helps you out

ELBE Eurocluster has opened a new call for "Internationalisation Services" for SMEs interested in promoting their offshore renewable energy related solutions and/or products in the United Kingdom (UK), the United States of America (USA), Brazil or Japan.

The support received from the ELBE Eurocluster should be dedicated to actions aimed at market development, such as flights and accommodations for a business visit in the target country, costs for supporting a service provider of the SME’s choice to establish contacts in the target country, or participation in a dedicated event in the target country. 

These are only some examples; other activities related to onsite market development are also included in this support. Please note that the internationalisation activities funded by this support have to be finalised by 30 June 2025.  

This call is open to all SMEs (in line with the European definition) registered in a country that is either a member of the European Union or participates in the Single Market Programme / COSME.  

If your company meets the aforementioned conditions, you are eligible to support for your international development activities in the form of a lump sum. These lump sums amount to:

• €1,500 for the UK;
• €2,500 for the USA;
• €2,000 for Brazil; and
• €2,500 for Japan.

Please note that you can submit an application for several countries.

Applications are to be submitted by 3 November 2024 at 5:00 pm CET on the EU Survey platform.
