INNOVATION FUNDING AND SUPPORT FOR SMEs OF THE BUILT ENVIRONMENT SECTOR

METABUILDING is a 3-year Horizon 2020 EU Innovation project funded by the Executive Agency for Small and Medium-sized Enterprises (EASME). 15 European partners join forces to support SMEs from 6 European countries, bringing innovation to the “traditional” value chain of the Construction sector and expand it to other industries to create an enlarged Built Environment industrial sector enabling these SMEs to internationalise their activities and reach European markets.

 

In the frame of METABUILDING, 3.75M € will be available to finance 140 SMEs, boosting collaborative innovation projects belonging to one of the following industrial sectors, searching for synergies:

Construction Sector

Additive Manufacturing Sector

Nature Based Solutions

Circularity & Recycling Industrial

Digital Industrial Sector

 

and reaching out to more than 6.000 SMEs through 90 regional clusters in the 6 target counties:

 

Austria · Italy · France · Hungary · Portugal · Spain

METABUILDING IMPACTS

  • Provide direct support -financial and non-financial- to SME innovation.
  • Strengthen the competitiveness of SMEs through international collaboration.
  • Support for SMEs to get out of the COVID-19 crisis through innovation.
  • Stimulate the innovation potential of the Construction sector through cross-sectoral and cross-border collaboration.
  • Establish a Digital Platform facilitating business and innovation in an enlarged Built Environment Sector.

To reach the mentioned goals, METABUILDING will promote the Open SME Calls that will be published on the Horizon 2020 Participants Portal and on the projects' own website. Funded projects will be selected through transparent competitive procedures.
