This month, we are launching the 2nd Expression of Interest (EoI) for Business Pilots. The goal is to onboard businesses developing innovative solutions and – with EOSC technologies and services – help them bring products and services to market.

Through this EoI, we will also support industry applicants wishing to become service and content providers for the EOSC community.

For instance:

  • data analytics to improve healthcare
  • services for safer and cleaner transport
  • machine learning and AI optimisation
  • applications to reduce the cost of public services.

 The selected business pilots will receive support in, among other areas:

  • accessing e-infrastructure resources and additional technical services;
  • prototyping, scaling up, design, performance verification and testing;
  • building partnerships with other SMEs and industry stakeholders, innovation clusters and accelerators;
  • business coaching and training for increased market uptake;
  • boosting visibility at a European and international level.

The requested services will be provided by EOSC FutureC-SCALEEGI-ACEOpenAIRE-NexusDICE and RelianceSee here for the full overview.
