  • The consortium must comprise at least two industrial companies-Large, Small or Medium sized enterprises- from two different EUREKA
     member countries. The active participation of research institutes or universities is strongly encouraged when not made mandatory.
  • Eurogia+ projects must clearly show technical innovation in the future product/process or service (either through using new devices or in the
     utilization of existing devices in a new application).
  • The project must have a strong market and exploitation orientation.
