The Ideas Powered for business SME Fund is a grant scheme designed to help EU-based small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) protect their intellectual property (IP) rights. The SME Fund is a European Commission initiative implemented by the European Union Intellectual Property Office (EUIPO) and will run from 3 February 2025 to 5 December 2025.

- Understand the benefits of the SME Fund for your small or medium-sized business.
- Learn about the support available for safeguarding your intellectual property rights (IPRs) through vouchers.
- Discover how to apply for the SME Fund and how to obtain partial reimbursement for your IP rights: (trade marks, designs, patents and plant varieties) and also for IP Scans.
The webinar targets small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) based in the EU and Ukraine who are keen to protect their IPRs. It is also available to their representatives. SMEs that applied in previous years are eligible to apply again this year.
