It suits you if…

  • You apply as a company, not as an individual.
  • Your solution is commercially mature and already validated in the market.
  • You want to adapt and demonstrate it together with a committed end customer.
  • You plan to reach a new customer segment, sector or geographic market.
  • You apply on your own, without a partnership.

It is not for you if…

  • Your solution is still an idea or a prototype, not yet validated in the market.
  • You are not a company, for example an association or a public body.
  • You need a consortium of partners: this call is for single applicants.

How much you can get

The grant is €60,000 per project, a single amount. The total budget of the call is €600,000. The call does not state the share you pay yourself, a funding rate or an advance payment. Ask the national contact point before you build your budget.

Mistakes that cost you the money

  • Applying with a solution that is not yet validated in the market. Consequence: The application does not meet a stated requirement of the call.
  • Applying together with partners. Consequence: The call is for single applicants, so a consortium does not fit.
  • Starting purchases or works before you apply. Consequence: Those costs may not be accepted by the funder.
  • Assuming an opening or closing hour that the call does not state. Consequence: You may submit too late for the real cut-off.
