2. NCP Wallonie
NCP Wallonie advises Walloon Enterprises, Technical Centres and Universities
for the preparation of Proposals in applied R&D, in particular H2020.
Our services are free of charge and encompass providing information and advice
(looking for keyplayers, review of draft proposals…), but we do not write
proposals ourselves.
We are part of UWE (Union Wallonne des Entreprises) but are fully supported
financially by the Walloon Region.
