The Water Test Network project establishes a transnational network of Test Centers, including the PRIME platform, which can be used by SMEs to develop, test and verify new products and processes in the water field. In this way, new innovations will be developed and their placing on the market will be accelerated. This transnational network will facilitate SMEs’ access to testing centers through a system of cross-border vouchers.
These vouchers will be adjusted according to the needs of SMEs and guarantee a certain level of fully funded aid.
The support given to SMEs ranges from an expert diagnosis on the dossier describing the innovation carried by the SME to a complete verification of the specificities of the product, through additional tests of varying complexity.
Water Test Network offers “Innovation Support Vouchers” up to € 50,000 and possibly more.
Who can apply?
All small and medium enterprises (SMEs). An SME is defined as an organization with no more than 250 employees and a turnover not exceeding 50M €.
How to register ?
Voucher applications may be submitted at any time until August 1, 2021.
