Network to Innovate – EIP brokerage event

The Finnish, Estonian, and Latvian EIP measure calls will be open consecutively at the beginning of 2024. Now is the opportunity to build international collaboration for EIP projects! Come to network and seek new partnerships!

The aim of the event is to facilitate the formation of international project partnerships among potential EIP actors in Latvia, Finland, and Estonia.

At the beginning of the event, there will be a brief introduction to the possibilities of international cooperation within the EIP framework. Subsequently, project ideas will be highlighted in pitch presentations, and the remaining time will be allocated for thematic discussions in small break-out groups.

The background of the event lies in the schedule of EIP project calls in Latvia, Finland, and Estonia, which, in part, enables the inclusion of international cooperation in EIP project plans. In the early-year call, Estonia uses funds from the previous programming period, thereby placing limitations on the implementation schedule and budget for Estonian projects. Latvia opens the first call for a new financing period in the EIP, exploring the interest of international cooperation, for instance, between two EIP groups. We will provide more information about possible conditions during the event.
