The EIT Manufacturing TRANSFORM programme’s aim is to stimulate technology pull from industry and technology push into industry, fostering the transformation process in the European manufacturing ecosystem. EIT Manufacturing aims to support manufacturing corporates and SMEs in solving industrial and innovation challenges, by implementing new technologies from startups that could be further co-developed and integrated in their business operations and production. TRANSFORM focuses on addressing: • the innovation needs of well-established companies, such as manufacturing corporates and SMEs, and • business transformation through the adoption of new technologies to empower competitiveness and ensure sustainability. The purpose of this call is to support pilot projects between manufacturing corporates or SMEs (further called: “Challenge Owners”) and startups on a specific industrial challenge. Through a structured process, the EIT Manufacturing Business Creation team will support the collaboration between corporates and SMEs with the bestfitting startup partners for further development and pilot project implementation, and will provide guidance, support, and financing during the pilot project.
