Individual SMEs or consortia composed of a maximum of two SMEs, or one SME and another legal entity can apply for funding. Only SMEs can be funding beneficiaries and receive financial support in the DESIRE project.
The DESIRE Open Call is addressed at innovative projects in e-health and digital health markets in order to build resilience and facilitate green and digital transitions. DESIRE Open Call seeks proposals to address at least one of the following proposed health sector challenges:
- Product innovations to reduce dependency on critical inputs and technologies in the Euroclusters’ value chains with a view to introduce new-to-firm products or services for the health sector,
- e-health business process innovations tied to the adoption of technologies that help SMEs to meet requirements for their successful green and digital transition and
- SME’s Internationalisation towards third countries with solutions for the health sector.
