DigiFed
DigiFed launches “Digital Challenge Owner” Open call which targets European medium to large enterprises that have identified a specific business need for which no digital solution is currently available on the market.
On 22nd February, the DigiFed project kicked off a new series of match-funding opportunities that can help to accelerate access to advanced digital technology and solve real-world challenges. The support will be provided for so-called “Digital Challenge Owners” that aim to address digital needs in a cost-efficient and agile way. Digital Challenge Owners shall collaborate with start-up companies to prototype potential solutions in the field of Cyber-Physical Systems (CPS) & Embedded Systems.
DigiFed and Digital Challenge Owners will jointly offer grants of up to € 100k as well as technical and business support for the development of smart applications in Europe. Participants to the DigiFed Digital Challenge Owner scheme would be willing to co-fund the experiment anywhere between €30,000 to €50,000 for 9-12 months.
In return, they will gain access to a network of tech innovators and experts from startups or SMEs that can develop a customised solution to address their business challenge. Challenge Owners will also benefit from partnerships with leading Digital Innovations Hubs across Europe who will be able to accelerate their innovation journey, marketing capabilities, and access to new markets.
The DigiFed project will provide innovation management support by helping the lager enterprises frame their challenge and leading the search for the appropriate provider start-up or SME with the skills to address their business need. The selected startup or SME will then receive 100% funding from DigiFed and Digital Challenge Owner to addresses the digitisation challenge within Challenge Owner’s business.
The startups and SMEs will be selected through an open call application process which will start in May/June 2021.
