ETB’s main goals are: (1) to establish cross-border partnerships between SMEs and their strategic partners, (2) to improve and accelerate technology transfer, (3) to strengthen European efforts, and (4) to achieve sustainable industrial development in the field of biotechnology.
ETB launches common calls for industry-driven trans-national R&D&I projects with a view to create an integrated funding programme for biotech SMEs.
Since 2004 four joint calls were implemented and 80 projects, with overall project costs of 139 millions €, were funded. From 2009 to 2012 ETB will launch annual calls and establish a sustainable joint program for funding biotech SMEs R&D&I projects in Europe.
