fond_gauche_cip.jpgIsrael is the first neighbouring country to join the European Union’s Competitiveness and Innovation Programme (CIP). This program promotes innovation, entrepreneurship and growth of small and medium-sized enterprises.

According to eurofundingMag, “The participation of Israel in community programmes is an important step in the process of progressive economic integration between Israel and the EU in the framework of the ENP.” It seems like Israel plans on being a pretty active participant in this program, having already joined one pillar in the program, and expressing interest joining the other two pillars.

Israel has been involved in other EU innovation-related programs, such as the “Research and innovation” program of the sixth Framework Program.
