Two main instruments are foreseen:

users/communities/society
• New products and services to be derived
OpenInnoBM innovation vouchers
• Support research-industry collaboration
• Help SMEs innovate by solving specific research problems (in a transnational environment)
• Show the path for research/academia – industry collaborations

4. Impact
