Each one links to its EU funding record and the partners it works with: a starting list for building a consortium.
1 organisations have posted on the EU portal that they are looking for partners for this call.
The EU must do better in translating the knowledge generated by the Framework Programme into innovations with economic and societal value.
The objective of this action is to provide financial support (‘Proof of market’) to small consortia (i.e. spin-offs, startups, SMEs) to explore the exploitation potential, in the EU, of achieved results from ongoing or completed projects funded under Cluster 4 ‘Digital, Industry and Space’ or its predecessor activities under the Leadership in enabling and industrial technologies (LEIT)[1] part of Horizon 2020.
The consortia do not necessarily have to be made of former or current beneficiaries but should own or have access to the knowledge assets of projects, including intellectual property, where relevant.
Proposals should envisage valorisation activities, such as:
Proposals should address achieved results from ongoing or completed Research and Innovation Actions and Innovation Actions (RIA/IA) funded directly under the work programmes of Horizon Europe Cluster 4 ‘Digital, Industry and Space’ or its predecessor activities under the Leadership in enabling and industrial technologies (LEIT) part of Horizon 2020.
Applicants can be owners of the achieved results from previous projects or new participants. Proposals should include at least one of the following:
The proposal should specify the grant number and acronym of the project(s) which generated the results.
Proposals should present a clear vision of the intended pathway to market. Hence, the participation of a business partner should be envisaged.
