Overview of EU instruments contributing to the internationalisation of European businesses (2023)

The overview is a result of the joint effort of several European Commission services. The list includes regional and bilateral specific instruments which can help EU businesses in their goal of internationalisation. It also provides additional information in shape of relevant hyperlinks. The overview does not cover general enabling framework, such as free trade agreements.

This overview also responds to recommendation 1(a) of July 2022 European Court of Auditors Special report: “The Commission should make information available about existing instruments and projects receiving EU co-funding in the field of internationalisation”.
