4helix+ has awarded €480.000 in the form of innovation vouchers to 48 selected blue MED MSMEs and START-UPs. Thanks to these generous funds, the awarded companies could actually implement their creative innovation project under the expert guidance of the 4helix+ Knowledge Providers, i.e. experts in Cultural and Creative Industries and 'new innovation agents'.

Knowledge Providers registered at the project's Knowledge Providers database during the project lifetime, thus setting up the 4helix+ Transnational list of Knowledge Providers. From that list they were freely chosen by the awarded companies for the implementation of the latter's creative innovation project under the 4helix+ innovation voucher scheme. 
The Knowledge Providers were thus the ultimate recipients of the 4helix+ funds for having provided their innovation expertise to companies awarded with innovation vouchers.
