Within their study tour in Italy, organised by the Italian Trade commission (ICE),  a delegation of Balkan representatives from public administrations visited INNOVA for a Training and technical assistance on SME internationalization on 13 April 2011.  The main topics covered by the course were Technology Transfer, access to European financing schemes and the seed-capital fund model. On this occasion, the EU-funded PROGR-East project and the Pre-Commercial Procurement model was introduced to the delegation, accounting for very strong interest.

The course was concluded by a visit of INNOVA’s in-house R&D laboratory highlighting it’s successful role in bridging research and market.
