Success Stories from our Global network

“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”.

“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.“

“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.“

“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.“

“The Crowdhelix platform enabled us to find a coordinator of a recent proposal addressing one of the COVID-19 calls that was looking for the expertise we could offer – it was a perfect match. We would not have been able to otherwise connect, especially within the tight timeframe, had it not been for the Crowdhelix platform."

“Participation in the Maritime & Marine Helix launch event was a significant experience for all of us and proof of the correctness of the decision to access the Vision2020 and Crowdhelix network. Significant contacts have been made with a number of scientific and research institutions, as well as business entities, which creates the perspective of further development of our company and its participation in a number of different international projects. Our goal remains the development of shipping activities and the maritime economy in our country.”

"After posting on the Crowdhelix platform, Romanian SME Zitec was able to partner with Vision2020 RTO member KU Leuven which led to successfully submitting a proposal for the Fast Track for Innovation call."

“We are delighted about this success story! It has been an enriching experience. We are very grateful for Crowdhelix's instrumental support and for putting us in touch with the optimal partners. Looking forward to working on other proposals with you soon.”

"Our consortium needed two further partners with a specific expertise related to law enforcement and ethics. We were quickly connected to potential partners using the Crowdhelix platform and then submitted the proposal, following a post on the Crowdhelix platform."

“We have worked with Crowdhelix on many proposals and events and have a close relationship with them. In fact, we have also invited Crowdhelix to participate in four proposals that we coordinated or co-coordinated in the last year. The Helix Impact Model gives an innovative edge to results in more impactful projects.”
