With great interest the “Research – Innovate 2021-2027” action is expected, with a budget of 300 million euroswhich is an action of strategic importance of the “Competitiveness” program of the NSRF 2021 – 2027, and was designed as an evolution of the action “Research – Create – Innovate” implemented during the 2014-2020 programming period,
The action is primarily aimed at meeting the needs of businesses and other entities active in the research and innovation ecosystem, covering the widest possible range of potential beneficiaries.
Who is it addressed to?
- Enterprises and other entities treated as enterprises
- Research organizations and other entities treated as research organizations
The main objective is to connect research and innovation with entrepreneurship and to strengthen the competitiveness, productivity and extroversion of businesses towards international markets, with the aim of transitioning to quality innovative entrepreneurship and increasing domestic added value.

• Research and Development by Businesses. Intervention I is addressed to existing businesses regardless of the date of establishment. Potential beneficiaries are either a small and medium-sized enterprise (SME) or groups of enterprises in which at least one necessarily is an SME.
• Business Partnerships with Research Organizations. Intervention II concerns partnerships of existing companies, regardless of size and date of establishment, with research organizations, with companies as the main recipients.
In partnerships of two or three or four partners – bodies, one must necessarily be an SME. In partnerships of more than four partners, two must necessarily be businesses and at least one must be an SME.
