Under the EIC BAS Innovation Procurement Programme, InnoBuyer is poised to revolutionise the landscape of innovation procurement by fostering collaboration between the public and private sector. With its new open call open until 6 June 2024, InnoBuyer is inviting small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) funded by the EIC to become EIC Solvers. With a total funding pool of up to €260,000, this call will support four innovative SMEs (Solvers) in collaborating with public organisations (Challengers) to tackle specific challenges requiring innovative solutions.
How does it work?
Selected SMEs and public organisations will embark on a 10-month co-creation programme during which they will work closely to develop and pilot solutions for the identified challenges. In addition to receiving financial support, participants will benefit from access to potential customers for the developed solutions, thereby enhancing market visibility and scalability.
Who can apply?
This opportunity is open to SMEs that are currently or have previously been funded by the EIC. Interested parties are encouraged to team up with a public organisation of their choice and submit their proposals to address concrete challenges within the public domain.
