National and European public institutions, including the European Commission, support innovation through different funding programmes. These include the largest programme for research and technological development ever, namely the EU`s Horizon 2020, and less known schemes like Eurostars and various ERA NET initiatives. Innovation projects in virtually any research or industry area can be funded – from the Life Sciences to Manufacturing – and organisations from both the public and the private sectors can apply.
