CFAs: xBUILD-EU for Innovate, Global and Digital and Green Grants

Deadline: 2 October 2024

The European Cluster Collaboration Platform is seeking applications for its xBUILD-EU Innovate, Global and Digital and Green Grants.

Goal

  • Innovate Grant: to identify and bring to market new-to-firm products and/or services to make SMEs more resilient against value chain disruptions.
  • Green and Digital Grant: to assess technologies and adopt business processes to enable the green and digital transition to make SMEs more competitive, ready for a resilient future and for global growth.
  • Global Grant: facilitate internationalization of SMEs in selected target countries.

Scope 

  • Innovate Grant: This instrument is aimed at the innovation for SMEs to become more resilient with an increased portfolio of new-to-firm products and services to adapt to VUCA environment, increasing their capacity to respond and adapt easily in case of value chain disruptions.
  • Green and Digital Grant: This instrument is aimed at the adoption of processes and technologies by SMEs to become more competitive and resilient with focus on green and digital transition to ensure the sustainability and connectivity of the value chain. While this grant will not fund technology acquisition, the goal is to raise awareness with small pilots to test and adapt business processes to facilitate the twin transition, particularly technologies that can drive both simultaneously.
  • Global Grant: This instrument is aimed at facilitating the internationalization of SMEs to become more resilient and globally competitive with facilitated access to third markets to ensure supply and production with a broader customer portfolio to facilitate overcoming regional value chain disruptions. SMEs must targe one of the prioritized target countries by xBUILD-EU.
