Expert knowledge and competence, enthusiasm and project management are required to innovate and yet sometimes more is needed: financial resources also have to be invested into the process for changing an idea, a project or an innovation into a successfully marketed product or service.
The public authorities in the Walloon Region have a comprehensive array of financial tools on offer.
You may have already heard about the brand-new Technological vouchers scheme designed to allow companies to pay to have technological services undertaken by an accredited research centre or a college of higher education centre. Straightforward, flexible and fast.
Other support systems are also available to cover the various research stages, from industrial research to experimental development, including innovation guidance.
