EPO: European Projects Office

CTIC, through its European Projects Office, works to encourage and promote the participation and leadership of the Asturian business community in international Research, Development and Innovation activities, facilitating their access to the funding opportunities offered by Europe.

The European Projects Office (OPE-CTIC) promotes cooperation between regional and European actors and helps companies and SMEs in the region turn their ideas into projects funded by the European Union.

Our mission is to promote the creation of R&D&I projects with an impact on the region, acting as a driving force for the regional innovation ecosystem and supporting organisations and companies in identifying opportunities and preparing competitive proposals.

Our goal is for your company to innovate, grow and compete at a European level. That is why we work closely with you, aligning your strategy with the main European programmes (such as Horizon Europe, Digital Europe and Interreg, among others) and connecting you with technology partners, research centres and companies in other countries.
