Join the REACH Incubator to get up to €120K, and opportunity to work with leading corporations and their proprietary data.
The REACH Incubator has a €3.5 Million fund to foster the creation of data value chains across Europe and is looking for 30 promising big data startups and SMEs to take part in its first round of incubation. The call is open and will close on 15 February at 12:00h CET.
REACH is an incubation programme run by 10 core partners, among which is ZABALA, and 9 data providers. It will create a fertile ground for startups and SMEs to solve real-world challenges of large corporations and conduct experimentation of secured and trusted data-fuelled solutions which utilize proprietary, often multi-stakeholder, industrial and personal data.
The programme takes startups through 4 intense stages of technical and business growth (EXPLORE, EXPERIMENT, EVOLVE and EXPOSE) over eleven months, and will go through 3 incubation rounds in its three-and-a-half-year project duration. Due to Covid-19, REACH will take all the precautionary safety measures and implement its incubation services online, whenever on-site meeting and trainings are not allowed.
Interested startups and SMEs have three ways of applying and participating in REACH Incubator.
THEME-DRIVEN (Track 1): REACH consortium has in collaboration with the 3 leading European Digital Innovation Hubs onboard defined the cross-sectorial Data Value Chain (DVC) themes to be tackled by participants. DVC themes available in the first open call are tourism & entertainment, energy, retail, healthcare & insurance, health, manufacturing/industry.
READY-MADE (Track 2): Applications will deal with challenges defined by the REACH Data Providers according to the needs detected in their market (JOT Internet Media, Migros Ticaret A.Ş., Sonae MC, Yapı Kredi Teknoloji, De Vlaamse Radio- en Televisieomroeporganisatie nv (VRT), Play&go experience, Idea75, Almerys, Biscay Government).
FREE CHOICE (Track 3): Applicants will devise novel DVCs by bringing their own data provider/s and/or their own datasets with those already facilitated within the REACH Data Catalogue. The applicant, a single SME, will apply together with their own Data Provider/s (at least one) proposing a joint challenge to be solved.

We provide advice to activities that encourage innovation, aimed at promoting the development of new innovative markets from the demand side, through public procurement
Europe offers many opportunities to support and foster Research, Development and Innovation actions. Competition is very high and being well positioned among all actors active in each sector requires a well thought-out plan of action and an active way of promoting visibility in Brussels.
We guide companies through the implementation of an adequate innovation strategy, which allows them to tackle any transformation challenge in a coordinated and effective way, from an integrated perspective.
