Scope
The call helps innovative SMEs test whether their commercial or research plans for internationalisation are viable in a target country in Africa, the Americas, Asia or Oceania. Each project lasts six months and is carried out with a local organisation in the chosen country. The call is bottom-up, so applicants choose the focus of their project.
What a market feasibility project covers
- Preliminary technical, market, legal and/or socioeconomic assessments to validate an international, innovative product-, process- or service-market combination
- Activities to identify the local technical and market conditions that may help or hinder deployment of the innovation
- One local partner in the target country (for example a supplier, customer, end user, research provider or complementary technology developer) acting as main subcontractor
- Frugal innovation should be considered where appropriate
- The innovation must be at least TRL 4 and no higher than TRL 8 in the target country; where further R&I is foreseen, TRL 7 is the indicative upper limit
Expected outcomes
The expected outcome must have a high impact in the target country. After the project, the SME should understand its target market better and be able to make informed business decisions. The project may serve as a preliminary phase for a future international R&I project with local counterparts.
Eligible costs
Personnel, subcontracting, travel and subsistence, equipment depreciation, other goods, works and services, and indirect costs calculated as a 25% flat rate of direct eligible costs excluding subcontracting.
Payment
Each funded project receives a fixed grant of €60,000: 70% (€42,000) as pre-financing at the start and 30% (€18,000) after the six-month project, once the final report is accepted. Since the maximum support rate is 70%, total eligible costs must be at least €86,000, and the SME covers costs above €60,000 itself.
Call budget
The fifth Innowwide call as a whole has a budget of €4,200,000 to fund 70 projects.
