Funding applications for research, technological development and innovation projects to be supported under the 2nd Cycle of the Action may be submitted either by individual enterprises or by groups of enterprises or by business partnerships with research organizations and should be included in one of the following four (4) categories of intervention:

I. Research and Development through Enterprises
