COVID-19 pandemic is hitting with force. Europe has passed the threshold of 660 000 deaths since February 2020. Now, more than ever, it is crucial to narrow down the divide between technology breakthroughs and the healthcare system to exploit the power of DATA as a tool to tackle the clinical challenges of coronavirus.

COVID-X Programme, launched in November 2020 for 2 years, offers direct funding for 30+ European Start-Ups & SMEs that offer ready-to-market data-driven solutions to support healthcare systems in taking care of COVID-19 patients. The selected solutions join the COVID-X Acceleration Programme for 10-months and benefit from the COVID-X data sandbox. 

COVID-X is supported by the European Commission Horizon 2020 Programme. 

COVID-X Programme boosts Data & AI-driven solutions to support diagnosis, treatments and follow-up of COVID-19 patients. It launches two Open Calls providing 4M€ of equity-free funding to 30+ European Start-Ups & SMEs. The selected solutions, the COVID-X Game Changers, join the COVID-X Acceleration Programme for business mentoring and technical, legal & ethical support as well as they get access to COVID-X Data Sandbox. All supported COVID-X Solutions are piloted with real patient data and with healthcare partners.
