The COVID-X Programme Open Call #1 closed on the 27 January, gathering 112 applications from data technology companies and healthcare providers across 29 different countries in Europe and beyond. 16 selected single and team solutions have been announced.
COVID-X, supported by the European Commission under Horizon2020 Programme, runs a unique 10-month acceleration programme for 30 close-to-market data and AI-driven solutions to boost their market uptake and support healthcare systems and save lives of patients with COVID.
COVID-X funds EU companies and healthcare providers to boost data-driven solutions with the power to overcome challenges in diagnosis, prognosis, and follow-up related to COVID-19. The funding is invested in products with TRL 7+ and [or in the process of] CE marking, covering two profiles: single players (EU Tech SMEs / Start-Ups) validating their solutions at one of COVID-X clinical partners; or team (tech provider working with a healthcare provider that will validate the solution).
All submitted applications went through a first pre-screening phase and selection process. At the end of the evaluations, 16 best-ranked solutions (3 single solutions and 13 team solutions) were selected within the COVID-X Programme.

The total of co-funding for these solutions is € 2,200,000.
In addition to the direct funding, the COVID-X Programme provides the top-ranked solutions access in a tailored Acceleration Programme organised in 3 sprints of 3 months. It includes technical coaching business mentoring sessions as well as support in ethical issues and piloting with healthcare organisations, which will boost their quick market uptake with the ultimate goal to support European healthcare systems.
