SME introductions lead to a successfully funded collaboration
“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. We are delighted to confirm that both proposals had been funded and we look forward to commencing the projects within the next few months and to continuing this successful cooperation.“
