Source: EIRIPM database (N=1157); analysis Technopolis Group Note: Percentages indicate the share of all measures co-financed from a given source introduced by EIS groups. The numbers in the legend indicate the total number of measures reported for EIS groups. Thus, the share of the measures co-financed by the Structural Funds has grown substantially over the last two years due to the measures introduced in the new EU Member States. Over the last two years, 57 out of 59 measures co-financed by the Structural Funds were introduced in catching-up and moderate innovators. Over the last two years, Poland and the Czech Republic alone have reported 16 and 13 measures, respectively, co-financed by Structural Funds. It could be expected that the trend will be even stronger with further measures launched during the 2007-13 programming period.
