Amendment 1872 #
Proposal for a decision
Annex I – part III – point 1 a (new)
1 a. Innovation for SMEs - Mainstreaming SME support through a dedicated instrument Horizon Europe will encourage and support the increased participation of SMEs in an integrated way across all specific objectives under Pillar III but also Pillar II. For this purpose, to participate in Horizon 2020, better conditions for SMEs shall be established. In addition, building on the experience of Horizon 2020, a SME Instrument 2 as experimented under the EIC Pilot will be targeted at all types of innovative SMEs. It will be provided for all types of innovation. The objective is to help fill the gap in funding for early stage high-risk research and innovation, stimulate breakthrough innovations and increase private-sector commercialisation of research results. All specific objectives of Pillar II "Global Challenges and industrial competitiveness" and Pillar III “Open Innovation” shall apply the dedicated SME instrument and allocate an appropriate amount to it. The SME instrument will cover all fields of science, technology and innovation in a bottom-up approach within a given global challenge or enabling technology so as to leave sufficient room for all kinds of promising ideas, notably cross- sector and interdisciplinary projects, to be funded. The SME instrument will operate under a single centralised management system, light administrative regime and a single entry point. It shall be implemented primarily in a bottom-up manner through a continuously open call. The SME instrument will provide simplified and staged support. In particular, SMEs will be able to apply to: — Phase 1:Concept and feasibility assessment: SMEs will receive funding to explore the scientific or technical feasibility and the commercial potential of a new idea (proof of concept) in order to develop an innovation project. A positive outcome of this assessment, in which the linkage between project-topic and potential user/buyer needs is an important issue, will allow for funding under the following phase(s). — Phase 2:R&D, demonstration, market replication: research and development will be supported with a particular focus on demonstration activities (testing, prototype, scale-up studies, design, piloting innovative processes, products and services, validation, performance verification etc.) and market replication encouraging the involvement of end users or potential clients. — Phase 3:Commercialisation:This phase will be developed relying on the tools and instruments available under the EIC, in particular strong synergies are envisaged with the Accelerator. Relying on existing SME support networks, such as the Europe Enterprise Network and other innovation service providers, a mentoring scheme for the beneficiary SMEs shall be established to accelerate impact from the support provided. In addition, links will be explored with relevant national and/or regional intermediaries to ensure an efficient implementation of the mentoring scheme.
