What we will do

InnoMatch aims to help public and private buyers find innovative, tailored solutions by funding pilot testing. It will provide 2.28M Euro in total to support EIC-backed innovative SMEs and startups (EIC Awardees) to develop and pilot solutions that align with the specific innovation needs of selected committed public and private customers (Buyers).

How?

Conduct a transparent and fair open call framework to select EIC Awardees to carry out innovative pilots with committed Buyers.
Engage Buyers (private and public customers) to participate in a free of charge innovation demand-driven programme.
Support the pilot’s implementation and increase chances that the successfully piloted solutions are adopted after the pilot ends.
Establish synergies with relevant innovation procurement initiatives, networks, and stakeholders, and promote and increase the visibility of the innovative EIC companies and their customers (Buyers).
