The EUHubs4Data project launches its 3rd Open Call

The EUHubs4Data project launched on 7 September its third and final open call which will run until 9 November 2022. EUHubs4Data aims to foster innovation by supporting SMEs and start-ups on their way to data-driven innovation. Have you been working on an innovative service or product with potential for development based on Big Data, but do not have enough resources to develop it? Are you trying to improve one of your products or services?

If the answer is yes, you are the perfect candidate for the third EuHubs4Data call. 

What are they looking for?

SMEs, start-ups and web entrepreneurs.

The project invites all interested parties to submit their experiments, which make use of the EUHubs4Data federated catalogue of services and datasets for the development of innovative products or advanced services.

What do they offer?

Funding, expertise and support.

The call will award funding to 18 experiments, with a total budget of €1.08 M. See the ‘Guidelines for applicants’ for the conditions.

The selected experiments will receive financial and technical support. The financial support consists of a grant of up to €60,000 for each beneficiary.

Technical support is provided by the Digital Innovation Hubs (DIHs) in the use of the federated services which are valued at up to €70,000.

These experiments can focus on different sectors of economic and societal value for Europe (e.g. Health, Manufacturing, Agri-Food, Climate, Mobility, Energy) and will help applicants to test their service offer and the sustainability of their business ideas.

In the last two editions, the calls funded 24 projects that, taking advantage of the EUH4D catalogue and the expertise provided by the DIHs, fostered innovation in different research areas.
