Funding details
Call : Services and Applications for Smart Agriculture
Country specific: Funding is not restricted to a single country
Funding: €4000,000
Conditions short: SMEs for FIWARE applications
Conditions full:
- Maximum funding levels and matched funding required: Up to €100k per proposal is available in funding over 3 stages of development:
- Stage 1 Prototype development (Up to €40,000 in EU funding, 100% funded)
- Stage 2 End user trials (Up to €40,000 in EU funding, 25% matched funding required)
- Stage 3 Business Development (Up to €20,000 in EU funding, 50% matched funding required)
- The majority of work to be funded will fall into the category of applied RTD i.e. research and development activities close to market. Eligible costs are personnel costs for the most part and other costs related to licensing, software development costs, etc. Sub-contracting of any or all software development costs is not an eligible cost.
- Other eligible costs outside of RTD related costs include costs related to set up/implementation of end user trial sites in Stage 2 including equipment and cost related to business innovation support. As stated previously, SmartAgriFood applicants are encouraged to collaborate with ICT-AGRI-partners or IN-KIND-partners, which will provide support in product development and sites for field trials at Stage 2.
- Travel costs should be an important component of all SME budget proposals – at least 10% of costs should be allocated to travel at each level (travel to meet international mentors/infrastructure advisor in e.g. Poznan/end user site locations/investors/innovation training/participation in dissemination events etc.)
- A small budget of up to 10% of total budget will be allowed to cover miscellaneous indirect costs. Matched funding in Stage 2 can be provided by in-kind contributions from third parties. Matched funding in Stage 3 must be provided by the SME or web entrepreneur leading the consortium. This can, in most cases, be related to personnel costs e.g. time of the CEO in attending investor training workshops or pitching events etc.
