The European Commission is calling for startups and SMEs with technologies and innovations that could help in treating, testing, monitoring or other aspects of the Coronavirus outbreak to apply urgently to the next round of funding from the European Innovation Council.
The deadline for applications to the EIC Accelerator* is 17:00 on Wednesday 18 March (Brussels local time).
With a budget of €164m, this call is “bottom up”, meaning there are no predefined thematic priorities and applicants with Coronavirus relevant innovations will be evaluated in the same way as other applicants.
The EIC is already supporting a number of startups and SMEs with Coronavirus relevant innovations, awarded funding in previous rounds.
The main focus of the EIC Accelerator (SME Instrument) is on market-creating innovations that shape new markets and generate jobs, growth and higher standards of living. | To read full story, visit https://startuparound.com/read/1584291608.8287501/European-Commission-Calls-for-Startups-and-SMEs-With-Solutions-to-Tackle-Coronavirus-Outbreak?ref=audio_experience
