The INNOGLOBAL 2026 Projects are part of the "Transfer and Collaboration Program" of the State Plan for Scientific and Technical Research and Innovation (PEICTI) (2024-2027). Specifically, they are located in the "Subprogram to promote collaboration in and between the Public and Private Sectors" that contemplates the financing of R+D+I projects in collaboration, both between different private agents and with IPOs and universities, whose purpose is to propose solutions to transversal and strategic challenges for society.
Likewise, the INNOGLOBAL 2026 call falls within the transversal program on "Internationalization" of PEICTI, which aims to promote the financing of international R&D projects to enhance Spain's presence in international R&D&I, in particular its role in the European Research Area, facilitating collaboration with foreign partners.
