== Eureka FP10 Position Paper (2024) ==
The ''Eureka FP10 Position Paper (2024)'' positions Eureka as Europe’s '''bridge between national and European innovation systems''', providing a cost-effective, decentralised mechanism for SME internationalisation. Its Partnership on Innovative SMEs (Eurostars, Innowwide) demonstrates strong impact—supporting 8000+ SMEs, creating 4000 jobs, and raising €1.5M average follow-on funding per firm.

For '''OPENVERSE''', Eureka is a strategic '''ecosystem enabler''': a pipeline of SME-driven innovation across sectors that can populate, test, and scale solutions within OPENVERSE’s digital, immersive, and interoperable frameworks. Engagement would let OPENVERSE act as the '''meta-platform orchestrator''' connecting Eureka’s innovation communities to Europe’s technical and data-building blocks.
