State programmes
With a priority of funding innovation and the K-Regio programme provided by the state of Tyrol, customised funding is available for companies, R&D institutes and universities in Tyrol.
The funding programmes tailored towards the structure of the Tyrolean economy support research, technological and innovation projects with great efficiency. Tyrolean state funding focuses on cooperation between businesses and scientific institutes. This connects regional expertise and uses synergies effectively.
The objective of the Tyrolean Innovation Fund is to encourage innovation and technology development within Tyrol’s SME-based economy. The individual goals are as follows:
- Sustainable growth by strengthening the innovative powers and competitive position of Tyrolean businesses
- Targeted steering of innovation processes to enable the region’s companies to develop a strategic innovation culture
- Improved knowledge and technology transfer between Tyrol’s mainly small and medium-size enterprises, educational and scientific establishments, and other R&D institutions
- Cooperative ventures involving companies – especially SMEs – and the scientific community
- Increased participation of Tyrolean companies in national and European funding programmes
- The use of (cooperative) innovation funding as a regional development tool for closer networking between the periphery and the centre
In order to have a practical system for innovation projects, these funding guidelines reflect typical innovation and development processes in the following three main cases:
- Initiative projects
- Research, development and innovation projects, in single-company or cooperative form
- Parallel measures for the promotion of innovation management (innovation assistant)
