About This Platform
B Light Cross-Border SME Cooperation Platform is an independent information resource dedicated to explaining B Light and similar SME light‑grant schemes implemented under Interreg and European Territorial Cooperation (ETC) cross‑border programmes.
This platform was created to provide clear, practical and neutral guidance for small and medium‑sized enterprises (SMEs), advisors and development practitioners who are involved in — or considering — cross‑border cooperation projects.
Our Origins
The domain blighthuhr.eu was originally associated with the B Light Scheme under the Interreg Hungary–Croatia Cross‑Border Cooperation Programme (2014–2020).
As that programme cycle concluded and institutional content was gradually archived or migrated to central Interreg portals, a large amount of practical, experience‑based knowledge about SME cooperation schemes became harder to find.
This platform continues that informational role — not as an official programme website, but as an independent, educational resource that builds on the experience and structure of the original scheme.
What We Do
We focus on:
- Explaining how B Light and comparable SME cooperation schemes work in practice
- Clarifying eligibility rules, funding logic, and common pitfalls
- Providing structured overviews of Hungary–Croatia cooperation, while also covering selected Interreg cross‑border regions with similar SME‑focused instruments
- Translating complex programme documentation into plain, practical language
The emphasis is on how programmes are implemented, not on promotional content or funding guarantees.
Who This Platform Is For
This site is intended for:
- SMEs exploring cross‑border cooperation opportunities
- Project partners already involved in Interreg or CBC projects
- Consultants, chambers, and development agencies supporting SME internationalisation
- Researchers and practitioners interested in light‑grant cooperation models
If you are looking for a quick list of “available grants,” this platform is probably not the right fit. If you are looking to understand how SME cooperation schemes actually work, you are in the right place.
Independence & Neutrality
This platform operates independently.
It is not affiliated with, endorsed by, or acting on behalf of:
- the Interreg Hungary–Croatia Programme

Support & Expertise
In some cases, independent experts associated with this platform may provide limited technical support, reviews, or advisory input related to SME cooperation projects.
Such support is:

No funding success or approval is ever promised or implied.
Our Approach
We believe that effective cross‑border cooperation is built on:
- realistic project design
- transparent partnerships
- a clear understanding of rules and responsibilities
This platform exists to support those principles — by making complex cooperation schemes easier to understand, not easier to misuse.
