Currently, under the Innovation Voucher program, it is possible to implement services related to the implementation or development of a product or technology, provided by a scientific unit, aimed at, for example, developing new or improving existing technologies or products of a given enterprise. The program is aimed at micro and small entrepreneurs who, in the year of submitting the application and within the 3 calendar years preceding the year of submitting the application for support under the Innovation Voucher Program, have not used the services of any scientific unit in the field of research and development work. One entrepreneur can obtain support with a maximum value of PLN 15,000. The amount of support can be up to 100% of eligible expenses. Applications will be accepted by PARP from May 18, 2009, to August 15, 2009, or until the financial resources for 2009 are exhausted. The program budget in 2009 is PLN 7.65 million and is financed from the state budget. The maximum deadline for completing the service and submitting a payment application to PARP is September 30, 2009.
