Innocoach is a Horizon 2020 project that aims at supporting SMEs in understanding the EIC Accelerator and Innovation Agencies in assessing suitable project ideas.

During this final event we will share the Design Option Paper including specific guidelines for Innovation Agencies and SMEs and the tools developed throughout the project implementation.

The Horizon Europe EIC Accelerator has very specific requirements to take into account, there have been consistent changes compared to the Horizon 2020 SME Instrument, that is why the Italian National Contact Point, APRE, will give an overview of key aspects of this new financial instrument and analyse the results of this call from the beginning of Horizon Europe to now.
