Today marks an important day here at the EUIPO. After the phenomenal success of the 2021 Ideas Powered SME Fund, we are proud to announce that the second edition of the SME Fund has gone live.

In 2021, we helped almost 13 000 SMEs navigate the IP landscape by offering them a host of innovative tools, resources and financial support. Above all, we helped SMEs realise just how important their IP is, and that by registering it, they can add even more value to their companies.

This edition of the SME Fund is a European Commission initiative implemented by the EUIPO and will run from the 10 January 2022 until 16 December 2022. With up to EUR 47 million in funding, and savings of up to EUR 2 250 available, the EUIPO will continue to help European SMEs on their IP journeys.

And thanks to the collaborative efforts between the European Commission, IP stakeholders throughout Europe, and feedback from European SMEs, the EUIPO is now even better placed to provide SMEs with the IP support they need.
