STIPP stands for SME Transition Innovation Partner Projects
For all current information, including opening of the subsidy scheme and instructions for applications, please scroll down. |
STIPP is an instrument designed to cater to the needs of small and medium enterprises in the Meuse-Rhine region and to enhance their competitiveness and innovative strength.
Six development agencies (LIOF, AGIT, NMWP, POM Limburg, VLAIO Team Bedrijfstrajecten, Wallonie Entreprendre) will join forces to raise awareness among SMEs, scout potential innovators and facilitate matchmaking for cross-border consortia. The goal is to support high-quality innovation projects that could be funded. The projects need to tackle one of the three grand societal challenges: Industrial Transition, Green Transformation and Healthier Inhabitants.
The team accompanying SMEs on this journey is known as the Business & Innovation Development Support team (BIDS-team). The BIDS team is backed up by the STIPP SME Grants team of the Province of Limburg in its capacity of Managing Authority for the Interreg Meuse-Rhine Programme. The Grants team will act as the fund management for the STIPP instrument and will be in charge of the formal launch of calls and the eligibility check of the applications received.
While the BIDS team will be accompanying cross-border SME consortia during project initiation, planning, implementation and closure, the Grants team will be responsible for checking on the reports submitted and the payment of the funding awarded in line with the relevant EU legislation in force.
The entire STIPP team is dedicated to facilitate the generation of cross-border projects and provide the means and framework allowing the SMEs in the programme area to unlock their full innovative potential.

Meet our STIPP-team
We are happy to assist you with various aspects of your STIPP-project - from application to implementation.
In our team, we distinguish between the Fund Management (STIPP SME Grants team) and the Regional Development Agencies (STIPP-BIDS team):
- The Fund Management is responsible for the eligibility check of the project proposals in the application stage and for the checking of reports during the implementation stage.
- Contact the Regional Development Agencies for assistance with SME-project applications, all things concerning STIPP-project implementation, and advise the STIPP-consortia on content-related matters. The Regional Development Agencies will advise on communication, from the correct promotion of the STIPP-project, to advising on partner communication.
