Deadline: October 07, 2025
The UNDP Georgia Office invites proposals for the Innovation Challenge – Manufacturing Sector, aimed at supporting Georgian manufacturing sector SMEs in starting, continuing, or resuming exports to EU and European countries.
Focus areas for this challenge are to promote innovation in export-oriented manufacturing sectors, accelerate access to the EU markets, encourage private sector-driver leadership in export solutions, enable knowledge transfer, and strengthen Georgia’s manufacturing industry’s export ecosystem.
This call, managed by the UNDP Inclusive Access to Markets (IA2M) project, targets Georgian SMEs registered at least one year prior to application that produce goods within Georgia and meet specific citizenship, residency, and financial requirements. Applicants must submit their proposals directly through the NextGenERP supplier portal by 07 October 2025, 11:00 AM (UTC), following the instructions provided and using the templates and forms within the system. Up to ten grants of GEL 60,000 each will be awarded for projects lasting eight months, provided applicants meet eligibility criteria and successfully pass two stages of technical and interview evaluation as detailed in the annexes. Only proposals submitted through the official platform and completed as required will be considered; late or non-compliant submissions will not be evaluated. Finalists are selected based on a combined 100-point scale from both technical and interview assessment stages. For support or further questions, applicants can refer to the procurement unit contact provided in the solicitation documents.
