DigiCirc launches call for projects in the blue economy

DigiCirc is a support programme accelerating innovation by identifying advanced solutions for the circular economy, promoting business development and helping start-ups grow. In the period 2020-2022, three accelerator programmes will be set up. The call for the blue economy accelerator programme is now open. 

From all proposals submitted, 15 consortia will be selected to receive a direct subsidy of €20,000. Additionally, the selected consortia will also be able to participate in an intensive support programme of no less than 12 weeks. 

At the end of this support programme, 5 consortia will receive an additional subsidy of €100,000. They will then have 6 months time to develop a prototype and test it in an operational environment with a view to a commercial launch.

For this call, a consortium must consist of at least two cross-border and/or cross-sectoral SMEs located in a member state of the European Union or in an associated country part of Horizon 2020.

The consortium must also respond to at least one of the pre-defined blue economy challenges.

This call is open until 3 August 2021. So, do not hesitate and register. 

For your information, please note that there will be another call later this year on the topic of bio-economy.
