The EU project "POLICY ANSWERS - R&I POLICY making, implementation and Support in the Western Balkans" funded under the Horizon Europe call “Support for R&I policy making in the Western Balkans" (HORIZON-WIDERA-2021-ACCESS-06-01) with Grant Agreement 101058873, foresees as an eligible activity the provision of financial support to third parties and implements a pilot programme “Western Balkans Innovation Vouchers”. POLICY ANSWERS monitors and supports policy coordination within the European Union - Western Balkans (WB) cooperation, but also provides capacity building and pilot actions in the WB to contribute to the region's EU integration process and to strengthen their innovation ecosystems.

The eligible applicant (users of the innovation vouchers (IVs)) under the "Western Balkans Innovation Vouchers" scheme must be a legal business entity registered as a micro, small or medium-sized company and registered in any of the WB economies. Applicants must collaborate with a service provider, where the applicant and the service provider must be from two different WB economies.
