The Competitiveness and Innovation Framework Programme (CIP) (2007 -2013)
The Competitiveness and Innovation Framework Programme (CIP) aims to encourage the competitiveness of European enterprises. With small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) as its main target, the programme will support innovation activities (including eco-innovation), provide better access to finance and deliver business support services in the regions. It will encourage a better take-up and use of information and communications technologies (ICT) and help to develop the information society. It will also promote the increased use of renewable energies and energy efficiency.

INTERREG Programmes

The INTERREG programmes are made up of the three strands:

Cross-Border cooperation between adjacent regions aims to develop cross-border social and economic centres through common development strategies (INTERREG IVA). This programme is subdivided in a multitude dedicated programme areas.

Transnational cooperation involving national, regional and local authorities aims to promote better integration within the Union through the formation of large groups of European regions.(INTERREG IVB). The Programme is broken down into 13 programme areas.

Interregional cooperation aims to improve the effectiveness of regional development policies and instruments through large-scale information exchange and sharing of experience (INTERREG IVC).
