INNOVATION VOUCHERS FOR INNOVATIVE SMEs
Open call announcement for the allocation of INNOVATION VOUCHERS (up to 60,000.00 Euros) for SMEs in the Mineral Raw Materials sectors (mines and quarries) and SMEs in the supplier sectors (ICT, Circular Economy, Resource Efficiency and Support for Advanced Innovation Manufacturing).
The INNOVATION VOUCHERS are collaborative projects of the MINE.THE.GAP Program.
With the participation of seven European Countries, MINE.THE.GAP intends to create and Integrate New Industrial Value Chains for SMEs in the sectors of Mineral Raw Materials (mines and quarries) through ICT, Circular Economy, Resource Efficiency and Support for Advanced Manufacturing Innovation.
The MINE.THE.GAP vouchers will support the projects that respond to the 10 challenges of the value chain of Raw Materials and Mining Industry as in the diagram below:
