Success Stories from our Global network

“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”.

“We would like to thank Crowdhelix for running and hosting us at their coordinators’ proposal writing workshop earlier this year. I'm delighted to report that following this event we submitted our proposal - SPEEDIER - which has recently been funded.”

“Thanks to the support of Crowdhelix we were connected to an SME that specialises in the exploitation and commercialisation of research outputs. This SME since joined our proposal which was submitted to Horizon 2020 and is now pending an evaluation result. We would like to thank Crowdhelix for their support with the proposal and enabling this new match for collaboration - which bridges different sectors and regions.”

“In preparing a proposal to Horizon 2020, Crowdhelix connected me to an SME member that specialises in Innovation Management activities which helped my consortium position the impact objectives of the proposal. I’m delighted to report that in August, this proposal was funded scoring 5/5 for impact. I would like to thank Crowdhelix for supporting us with this application and making this new - academia to business - connection which has contributed to our success in Horizon 2020.”

”We announce with pleasure that Coca Cola European Partners (CCEP) has joined Crowdhelix and within the first few weeks of joining were successfully matched and connected to a Research Technology centre who subsequently included us in a large-scale Horizon 2020 circular economy proposal.”

“We are grateful to Crowdhelix by providing a support letter to our ERA Chair application in 2017 which was subsequently funded and through which we have recently joined the platform. We look forward to working across its extensive network to explore new relationships and value chains for research and innovation.”

"As a new RTO member of the Crowdhelix platform, we participated in one of the brokerage and capacity building events last year to help prepare for a proposal that Antwerp was looking to lead. We are pleased to report that some new connections were made at at this event (which we built into the proposal) and the proposal recently passed the first stage application process with the EC. We are now working with Crowdhelix and others to prepare and submit a full stage 2 proposal."

“Since joining Crowdhelix only within the last year, Sabanci University has since been matched to join 2 new consortiums (in the areas of social sciences and innovation support) which have led to 2 new proposals being submitted which are currently under evaluation. The new connections we have made since joining the platform have helped us raise our visibility and showcase our areas of excellence.”
