Note: In the event that, after the completion of the review of applications received within a specific exhibition, the number of positive/approved applications is less than the number of potential beneficiaries determined by the Agency for that exhibition, participation will also be granted to companies that have fully submitted the documentation required by the programme but did not accumulate the minimum points stipulated by the programme.
