Future Cities Catapult is partnering with Innovate UK and Enterprise Europe Network to hold a workshop to collaborate with SMEs to answer the H2020 SME Instrument and Fast Track to Innovation funding.
What is the SME instrument and Fast track to Innovation in the H2020 programme?
Horizon 2020 funds high-potential innovation developed by SMEs through the SME instrument and Fast Track to Innovation funding. With € 1.6 billion in funding over the period 2018-2020, the SME Instru...ment will support ground breaking innovative ideas for products, services or processes that are ready to conquer global markets. Fast Track to Innovation has a budget of €300 million for bottom-up proposals for close-to-market innovation activities in any area of technology or application.
These streams of funding support high-risk, high-potential SMEs to develop and bring to market new products, services and business models that could drive economic growth. However, SMEs must go through evaluation by a multination panel of technology, business and finance experts before being selected for the funding and coaching.
