Success Stories from our Global network

"I’d like to thank Crowdhelix for helping me and my consortium find a number of new innovative partners - from different sectors and different regions across Europe - for our proposal in advanced battery technology that has been submitted to the European Commission and is now under evaluation.”

“Many thanks to Crowdhelix for connecting me and Centexbel to a Horizon2020 proposal that has now been submitted (and is now under evaluation) in the area of textiles and sustainable materials - in what would be a 'world's first network'. This was a new connection made through the Crowdhelix match-making platform based on Centexbel's profile and sector leading expertise in this area. Thank you.”

“Thank you to Crowdhelix for matching and then connecting us to a world leading expert on Citizen Science - from within the Crowdhelix network - following my attendance at a Crowdhelix event. That connection has now led to a collaborative proposal being submitted which is currently under evaluation. It has also led to the prospect of future collaborations being developed in this space.“

“I would like to thank Crowdhelix for connecting me to 2 separate Horizon 2020 proposals that have now been submitted where Grade Zero Espace is an applied impact delivery partner. One proposal is in 'sustainable -wearable - materials, the other proposal is in 'advanced batteries'. On behalf of Grado Zero Espace we would like to thank Crowdhelix for making these connections through their technology platform. These proposals - which are very strong - are currently under evaluation and we hope for a positive response on these applications at the end of the summer.“

“The world needs this,” says Daniel Green, the CEO of Yaqrit, a London-based company that has posted a call-to-action on Crowdhelix. “It's too hard to find partners through an organically grown network. Yaqrit has been trialling devices that treat patients with end-stage liver disease. When research started emerging that the immune reaction in severe cases of COVID-19 bears similarities to end-stage liver disease, Green decided they had to act.”

“I would like to thank Crowdhelix for their support, advice and connections made in submitting a Horizon 2020 Twinning project designed to build networks, exchange knowledge and engage best practices to stimulate the integration of the Sex and Gender Dimension in Research Content, which has this month been funded by the European Commission.“

“I attended the Food Helix event in Milan where I met excellent contributors to my proposal I was working on. The Crowdhelix team have connected me to several experts at the University of Milan and National Institute of Chemistry in Slovenia who were interested in the same call. Having put together a very interdisciplinary consortium, I am pleased to confirm we submitted the proposal together last month and are currently awaiting an evaluation result. I would like to thank Crowdhelix for organising this event and facilitating the connections.“

“Together with Crowdhelix and their network, DigitalHealth.London delivered market insight and navigation support to two Israeli-based digital health companies through the UK Israel Dangoor Initiative. This initiative sought to help these Digital Health companies integrate their innovative, game changing technology with the UK market and the NHS.“

“Thanks to the Crowdhelix platform, it's network and its members, we established a collaboration with a Spanish SME active, like us, in Horizon 2020. They invited us to a research proposal on Solar energy in industrial processes and we reciprocated by onboarding them onto a Bioeconomy-related proposal, both which have been submitted late August/beginning September 2019. We are delighted to confirm that both proposals have recently been funded and we look forward to commencing the projects within the next few months and to continuing this successful cooperation.“

“Following a Crowdhelix Energy and Climate brokerage event in Brussels, I was connected to several new organisations from the industrial and research intensive sector from across the Crowdhelix network. These new contacts, then formed part of a Horizon 2020 consortium that has recently received a positive evaluation from the European Commission securing 10 million euros. I would like to thank Crowdhelix for making these connections and enabling our success”.
