EUREKA - The Leverage Effect

Ex-Post ImpactAnalysis of the Final Report 2000-2005

Based on 1000 final reports received from 2000 to 2005, we coulddetermine that for one million euros of Public funds invested in a EUREKA project, on average :

2.5 millions euros of Private funds were put in additionally which resulted in 13 millions of additional turnover (achieved and expected) and 54 Jobs created or safeguarded (achieved and expected).
