Eureka Clusters
For Singapore companies who are looking to cooperate on joint Research, Development and Innovation (R&D&I) projects.
Access national funding and work alongside major industry players on close-to-market projects that meet your innovation objectives.
About this programme
EnterpriseSG is able to support any project submitted through the Eureka Clusters Instrument.
Through this initiative, Singapore companies will have the opportunity to work with more than 200 MNCs and corporates. This includes accessing partners across European MNCs, government agencies, research institutes, SMEs and universities from close to 40 participating countries.
There are five key Eureka Clusters:
- ITEA4 – Software Innovation
- Celtic-Next – Next-generation Communications (ICT)
- Xecs – Electronics components and systems and applications
- Eurogia2030 – Sustainable Energy Solutions
- SMART – Advanced Manufacturing
Occasionally, Eureka may also organise cross-Cluster calls focusing on specific themes, such as AI (2020-2021) or Sustainability (2021-2022). Similarly, EnterpriseSG can support these calls. To find out more about Eureka Clusters, kindly visit this link.
