Horizon 2020 Dedicated SME Instrument - Advanced Materials, Manufacturing and Processing
The Horizon 2020 Dedicated SME Instrument directly supports European small and medium-sized enterprises with a strong desire to develop, grow, and internationalize their most innovative ideas.
The instrument is relevant for high-tech and research driven companies as well as service companies, and SMEs applying in a consortium or alone. With a successful application to the program, companies will receive:
Phase 1: A lump sum of EUR 50,000 towards proof-of-concept and feasibility studies
Phase 2: EUR 0.5-2.5M towards innovation development and demonstration activities
Support of up to 70% of total project cost
Below are the upcoming deadlines for Horizon 2020 SME Instrument. Expect 1-2 months for the proposal writing process.
SMEInst-02-2016-2017: Accelerating the uptake of nanotechnologies advanced materials or advanced manufacturing and processing technologies by SMEs (Phase 1)
Deadline: February 15, 2017
Research results should be taken up by industry, harvesting the hitherto untapped potential of nanotechnologies, advanced materials and advanced manufacturing and processing technologies. The goal is to create added value by creatively combining existing research results with other necessary elements, to transfer results across sectors where applicable, to accelerate innovation and eventually create profit or other benefits. The research should bring the technology and production to industrial readiness and maturity for commercialization after the project.
