Submit your proposals for a grant of up to 40k€!

7 calls for proposals will grant 15 projects. From innovation products and process to services!

The overall aim of the Open Calls in the Project E-BOOST is to identify product innovations to reduce dependency on critical inputs and technologies in the E- BOOST value chains, to introduce new-to-firm products or services, and to engage actors from regions with different levels of economic development.

Target groups: High-profile SMEs addressing unmet needs in electromobility from all mobility sectors: automotive, industrial vehicles, active mobility, railway, maritime, etc. Even the youngest companies, still inexperienced but with high potential, will be considered in the process. A pool of experts will then form the basis for the experts’ panel that will evaluate individually the proposals based on these criteria: excellence, impact and implementation.

Mentoring programme: for clusters or SMEs that need advice and good practices exchanges

Mentoring programmes for clusters and SMEs based on the skills gaps identified will be designed and capacity building planned so that markets are prepared for new electromobility solutions.
The training will be implemented by:
E-Boost your cluster mentoring programme: A 6-month clusters managers mentoring programme whose goal is to develop cluster management practices and provide inspiration for upskilling and attracting talents, create new business ideas as well as cooperation opportunities.
SMEs mentoring programme: A 6-month SMEs mentoring program implemented by clusters with the project technical support whose goal is to support strategic management, upskilling of the workforce, talent management and business development.

Ecosystem Animation Activities: for SMEs that need to travel across Europe to meet partners or participation in innovation and business events
Developing projects is key to succeed in deploying SMEs solutions at the international level. This will be achieved by boosting SMEs networking through the organisation and implementation of events (matchmaking, B2B events, study visits, webinars, workshops, and participation in international exhibitions...).

Internationalization: for SMEs that need to internationalize their activities
Based on the E-BOOST clusters links in both Canada and the United States of America, the consortium will fuel these connexions within the project activities dedicated to the establishment of cooperation and business agreements. Moreover, North American territory represents a major electromobility market for the deployment of SMEs’ businesses. Transports stakeholders from this zone have a head start on other world countries regarding the development of electromobility infrastructure thanks to innovative technologies in terms of hydrogen or electric mobility.
