EU projects are our main tool to help entrepreneurs
EU Projects
INVENTO is open for cooperation on various EU projects.
We have ample experience with the Interreg programme. In the last three years we have been part
of five Interreg projects, one Norway grant and three EIT projects, cooperating with more than 20 partners from 10 EU countries:
- establishment of a public private co-investment fund and facilitation of investment deals between business angels, start-ups and public support providers.
- fostering collaboration of start-ups, SMEs and large companies with innovation business support programmes including online training workshops and mentoring of 200 start-ups that will be connected to industry needs.
- boosting potential of young innovators through a pre-acceleration programme tailored for young innovators in the energy efficiency field. The programme piloted in 9 countries involving 90 key regional ecosystem actors and innovators.
- since 2021, the EIT Urban Mobility Hub in Croatia encourages the transfer and replication of best practices and implements activities designed to boost the innovation in urban mobility. INVENTO Capital Partners is operating with four other Croatian partners: REGEA, Faculty of Electrical Engineering and Computing and Hrvatski telekom.
- since 2020 INVETNO is part of the EIT Jumpstarter program, which, with a mentoring program, helps innovation holders to (jump) start their business. In 2022, we also joined the EIT Entrepreneurial Co-founder Match Program, in which we will connect deep tech innovators and talented entrepreneurs to start their business.
- since 2016. – 2021. INVENTO was Croatian hub for EIT InnoEnergy. Nowadays, sustainability for EIT Innoenergy is about more than lowering emissions, and they make this possible by supporting sustainable energy innovations which provide industry with risk free, pioneering new technologies that reduce energy costs, increase system performance, decrease greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions, create jobs, and increase competitiveness.
- project was carried out in collaboration with our Norwegian partner, INNO-SCI School of Programming. As part of the initiative, we developed the Ladies in AI training program, introducing fundamental concepts of artificial intelligence and available services for building AI-driven solutions. A total of 43 women who own or manage SMEs successfully completed the training.
- an ambitious initiative designed to tackle significant territorial disparities in the Danube Region, with a particular focus on enhancing innovation capacity, knowledge, technological development, and overcoming the isolation of ecosystems, especially in Eastern and Southeastern Europe. Its core objectives are to connect less developed innovation hubs with more advanced ones, create a cohesive network of stakeholders across diverse sectors, and foster a collaborative environment conducive to knowledge exchange and technological advancement.
DINAMIC Danube
- project strengthens small family farms in the Danube Region by providing lifelong learning, mentorship, and access to innovative technologies. The project aims to counteract depopulation and economic decline by enhancing farm sustainability, fostering innovation, and improving collaboration in bioeconomy and precision farming. Through education and digital transformation, it empowers farmers to increase competitiveness, adapt to modern challenges, and ensure long-term agricultural resilience.
As you can see, we were focused on developing programmes that help young people prepare their projects for presentation to investors and enter the international market.
We want to continue strengthening the competencies and knowledge of young creative individuals, we want to support and encourage women entrepreneurs and enable potential entrepreneurs in rural areas to find and develop their business path.
Our future activities will be related to EIT urban mobility, all their open calls and programmes, and our goal is to be a key factor in the development of this area in Croatia.
