7th Framework program
 

The European Commission manages hundreds of budget lines of which FP 7 is one of the largest funding programmes. Under the European Union's Seventh Framework Programme for Research and Technological Development (FP7) there is a total of over 50 billion euros that can be used to support your business strategy.

Grant opportunities are also available beyond FP 7, e.g. the CIP programme with a greater focus on fostering innovative technologies. This has approximately 3.6 billion available for, among others, SME’s involved in the enhancement of industrial competitiveness, innovation, ICT, environmental technologies and intelligent energy.
