SMART4ALL Open Calls, the right funding instrument to boost technology and business development in South, East and Central Europe

SMART4ALL is a four-year Innovation Action project funded under Horizon 2020 framework under call DT-ICT-01-2019: Smart Anything Everywhere – Area 2: Customized low energy computing powering CPS and the IoT. The target of the project is to establish a unique Pan European network of Digital Innovation Hubs that will not only support innovation and reveal business opportunities across South, Eastern and Central Europe, but will build capacity via the development of self-sustained, cross-border pathfinder application experiments. The project will provide a total funding of 2,2 Mio Euros via 9 open calls and it will support 88 cross-border pathfinder application experiments from European consortia. Each experiment will get funding up to €80,000 and it will be supported with novel coaching services from world lead experts in ethics, technology, funding and business development. This presentation will describe in detail the Open Calls, including their value proposition, the processes for eligibility (who can apply), evaluation and selection, the financial support and how to submit an application.
