On 29 February 2024, the European Innovation Council and SMEs Executive Agency (EISMEA) is organising an informative webinar to learn more about the following calls:
- The African Union-European Union Innovation Platform (HORIZON-EIE-2024-CONNECT-01-01): this action has the objective of supporting the implementation of the AU-EU Innovation Agenda. The action is expected to bring together a mix of EU and AU innovation stakeholders, from academia and business, including higher education establishments, public and private research entities, non-governmental organisations, international finance institutions, incubators and accelerators, technology transfer and capacity building and higher learning organisations.
- Startup Europe (HORIZON-EIE-2024-CONNECT-01-02): this action will connect local digital and deep tech start-up ecosystems and support cross-border acceleration activities for start-ups that demonstrate traction (i.e. market-product fit or at least a seed round raised). Among the start-up ecosystems to be connected, specific attention will be given to the inclusion of ecosystems in ‘moderate’ or ‘emerging’ innovator countries and/or regions.
A team of experts will share insights about the work programmes and application process.
