They will end up with a validated MVP prototype (TRL 4-6) and a business plan, which are used to evaluate/select the Top-10 applications per call (20 in total) towards COMMERCIALISE phase. • This structured holistic approach allows the best and most promising concepts to accelerate, achieve growth and market uptake, while all SMEs receive support and advice to improve their entrepreneurial skills and potential.It should be underlined that in case of any Force Majeure (i.e. any unforeseeable exceptional situation or event beyond the Block.IS consortium control), the final number of proposals entering each phase might be different.
