Digital SmartX Workshop (in German)
Our online workshop about the SmartX programme and the upcoming third/final call for funding took place on November 4 and was organized by our German partners, Steinbeis-Europa-Zentrum and DITF.
In the first funding call from SmartX Europe, nine projects out of 34 applications were approved and have already been initiated. A total of 16 European companies, five of them German, are active in these projects. In the second funding round, over 80 expressions of interest were received, of which 26 applications are currently being assessed. This will result in between 8 and 13 projects. The third and finall call for SmartX funding is set to open in November.
