SME Instrument: essential tips for your application - EASME 

SME Instrument: essential tips for your application - EASME  | EU FUNDING OPPORTUNITIES  AND PROJECT MANAGEMENT TIPS | Scoop.it
After the evaluation of the first proposals received in June 2014 we published a list of tips for potential applicants to the SME Instrument. These pointers received such a warm welcome that we decided to work on a new version building on the experience gained during the evaluation of around 2,500 new proposals. Some of the tips below may seem obvious but, believe us, they can make a huge difference to the success of your project!
nicoleta susanu's insight:

Write to convince evaluators to invest in your business

Four  evaluators will look at different aspects of your proposal: the technology, market knowledge, commercialisation plan, and the financial angle. Each of the evaluators will look at 3 criteria: impact, excellence, and implementation.

nicoleta susanu's insight:

Feasibility assessment (phase 1) - optional

Funding is available for: exploring and assessing the technical feasibility and commercial potential of a breakthrough innovation that a company wants to exploit and commercialize.

 

Innovation project (phase 2)

Funding is available for: innovation projects underpinned by a sound and strategic business plan (potentially elaborated and partially funded through phase 1 of the SME Instrument).

 

The next cut-off for SME Instrument Phase 2 is on 6 April 2017.

Commercialisation (phase 3)

With the view of facilitating the commercial exploitation of the innovation activities resulting from phase 1 or phase 2, specific activities will be proposed. These can include support for further developing investment readiness, linking with private investors and customers through brokerage activities, assistance in applying for further EU risk finance, and a range of other innovation support activities and services offered via the Enterprise Europe Network (EEN).
