France-Canada Technological Cooperation Program-Call for Proposals
Published on October 31, 2011
1. GENERAL FRAMEWORK
The link between innovation and export is well known: the vast majority of exporting firms are innovative and innovative firms are expected to export more quickly than others. It is with this objective that the French agency OSEO and NRC-IRAP, a Canadian program, cooperate to support the international development of firms from both countries.
2. TECHNOLOGICAL COOPERATION
OSEO (France) and NRC-IRAP (Canada) are launching this 4th Call for proposals (CFP) to foster cooperation and, specifically, to identify Technological Cooperation, Innovation and R&D projects co-developed by firms from both countries. These projects may receive financial support from OSEO in France and from NRC-IRAP in Canada. This support applies to all technologies and industries.
This CFP is open from August 16th, 2011 to January 31st, 2012. During this period, firms may submit the joint project they wish to carry out to the Program Managers listed at the end of this document. Outside this period, firms are invited to consult with OSEO and NRC-IRAP.
