Description: The projects:
- are aimed at producing plans and arrangements or designs for new, altered or improved products, processes or services;
- may include prototyping, testing, demonstrating*, piloting*, large-scale product validation and market replication*.
Funding rate: 70% (except for non-profit legal entities, where a rate of 100% applies).
The minimum number of institutions for consortium creation: three independent legal entities from European Union member countries or Associated Countries.
* Demonstration or piloting aims to validate the technical and economic viability of a new or improved technology, product, process, service or solution in an operational (or near to operational) environment.
Market replication aims to support the first application/deployment in the market of an innovation that has already been demonstrated but not yet applied/deployed in the market due to market failures/barriers to uptake.
