Micro Grant Awarded
Winners of the Micro Grant Proposals are the joint projects between SMEs and at least 2 KET TCs from different countries.
The types of activities that qualify for receiving financial support of 50.000 EUR have to focus on: the integration of advanced manufacturing technologies and combination with multi-KETs seeking one or several of the following clean production objectives (a related objective can also be specified by the applicant):
- the development of new production processes, or
- the improvement of the manufacturing of existing products by reducing production costs; the reliance on raw materials; the consumption of energy or the generation of waste.
The technology services include:
- research and innovation activities in the range from Technology Readiness Levels.;
- research and innovation activities at state-of-the-art technology facilities, including for example demonstration, testing, pilot production and related engineering activities.
The technology services may include feasibility studies, where necessary. However, they will be complemented by non-technology expertise and advice to SMEs, as necessary to ensure the success of the projects and maximize their impacts for the SMEs, achieving one of the following business KPI’s: advice on business planning, market analysis, training of workers on their involvement in the company project, the work organisations at the factory floor or brokerage to private finance for further investment etc.
