The IMP3ROVE assessment has proved to be an invaluable tool for comparison and improvement, even for mature innovative companies such as ours (NIPD Genetics Public Company Limited).

The Research and Innovation Foundation provides the IMP3ROVE assessment free of charge, via highly qualified personnel and can assist any SME extract value from these results and improve its innovation management capacity.

EMBIO, by updating its profile for search for partners in the Enterprise Europe Network (EEN), acquired important collaborations in the domestic market as well as in the European one. What is really important is that the collaborations resulted in the submission of research proposals, promotion abroad and acquaintance with important new technologies.

It is extremely important for us to update the search profile of our partners so that we can have new partnerships.

I have had the delightful experience to join efforts with the Research and Innovation Foundation towards a successful FETOpen project. For a program with success rates less than 2%, the passion of RIF officers and their inspiring enthusiasm has been an unprecedented source of encouragement and endurance, leading my efforts three times through the ‘gatekeepers’ of this highly demanding program. My success is also theirs as RIF is our natural, caring, personable and genuine co-worker. A FET project is every European scientist’s ultimate endeavor for scientific excellence and RIF has led my way fantastically well

EEN is a great opportunity especially for small and medium enterprises. In a world of high competition and unlimited opportunities, we found EEN as a direct, open window to the outer world. More specifically, EEN has significantly helped us in networking events to actually connect with large enterprises from our field, which could be potential customers, as well as European Business Clusters that have connected us with other small and medium enterprises for developing partnerships and working in common projects.

The services offered by the Research and Innovation Promotion (RIF) really make it easier for Cypriot companies, especially SMEs like eBOS Technologies, to actively get engaged – and successful – in research and innovation programs, in particular Horizon 2020 (soon Horizon Europe). The constant availability and in-depth expertise of the staff to provide advice at the stage of proposal elaboration but also during grant implementation, make a real difference. Whether my questions concern linked third parties, intellectual property rights, financing rules or the policy framework, the Foundation’s team is ready, willing and happy to help. As for the Proposal Review service, it is simply stellar and provides detailed, actionable and value-adding recommendations.
