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 innovators) 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 innovators 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).
