GALACTICA 2nd call for proposals
1.64 M€ are available to support new value chains driven by European innovative SMEs. The vouchers are addressed to EU and UK SMEs and start-ups with innovative solutions that could be part of cross border or cross-sectoral value chains in textile, advanced manufacturing and aerospace sectors.
The development of new industrial value chains is crucial to increase the competitiveness of textile and aerospace industries. GALACTICA project aims to upgrade and transform the industrial manufacturing value chains using advanced manufacturing as a cornerstone for the European textile and aeronautics sectors, allowing them to unlock their full potential through new cross-sectorial applications and value-chains.
Taking this into account, GALACTICA launches its second Call for proposals that consist of two different types of funding instruments, in the form of lump-sum vouchers:
A) Pioneer Acceleration voucher will support the exploration of new cross-sectoral value chains with a focus on developing a Minimum Viable Product (MVP). Each Pioneer Acceleration voucher will have a maximum budget of 20k€ per project and we expect to fund around 22 projects.
B) Orbital Projects voucher aims to support the demonstration of new cross-sectoral value chains connecting the different sectors of GALACTICA with initial market tests of the products and services developed. Each Orbital Project will have a budget of up to 100k€ and we expect to fund around 12.
