The European Union is a firm supporter of the cooperation between countries that are members of the EU and those that are not through EU funding. Cross border cooperation is important. One of the ways that the EU aims to continue supporting this policy is through the implementation projects.

Project funding is an excellent way to support cross border cooperation and Interreg is the EU’s key instrument to aid these endeavors. The Interreg programme aims to jointly tackle common challenges as well as find shared solutions in multiple fields. Some of those fields include health, environment, research, education, transport, sustainable energy and more.

Interreg is one of the two goals of the EU Cohesion Policy in the 2014-2020 period and it is funded by the European Regional Development Fund (ERDF). It has a budget of EUR 10.1 billion invested in the several cooperation programmes responsible for managing EU funding for projects.

Interreg has three types of programmes:

1. Cross-border Cooperation Programmes (60)
2. Transnational Cooperation Programmes (15)
3. Interregional Programmes (4)

IED is one such partner. We are a center of excellence in EU projects and we support entrepreneurship by developing project proposals in several EU funding programmes. Our aim is to promote innovation and enhance the entrepreneurial spirit. Interreg is one of the programmes that interests us the most.

The CoWorkMed: Social Innovation Research on Coworking Clusters, is the Interreg project that we are most proud of implementing. During the implementation of the project, we developed a new model of entrepreneurship and social innovation by promoting the coworking processes and their transnational organization as a lever of smart and sustainable growth in the Mediterranean territories.
