Funding and support opportunities for EU watertech SMEs – WINNing Days
Chair: Rixt Sinnema, Projectmanager Water Alliance and Pieter de Jong, EU Representative WaterCampus Leeuwarden and Wetsus
On a European level there are specific support and funding programmes for watertechnology companies in the field of business development, internationalisation, scaling up technology, project funding and making use of external knowledge. In this session we will present EU programmes and their implementation through concrete examples from peer-entrepreneurs.
CINEA, the European Climate, Infrastructure and Environment Executive Agency implements parts of certain EU programmes and plays a key role in supporting the EU Green Deal. CINEA will present on programmes like Horizon Europe, LIFE and the Green Assist Advisory Service.
Euroclusters programme CircinWater, in which Water Alliance collaborates with other European cluster organizations, presents innovative projects through innovation vouchers with for example Aqa Earth and Terra Crawler. Also other European companies who received an innovation lump sum under CircInWater will pitch their project in this session.
