|
TRACKANT |
Austria |
The project aims at providing the missing technological base for Beyond-line-of-sight navigation needed to cross through areas with obstacles like buildings in cities or diverse topographical factors. This will pave the way to deploy Remotely Piloted Aircraft Systems (RPAS) for public safety applications (disaster, rescue, etc.) or precision agriculture (maturity measurement, crop control, disease detection, fertilizer deployment), thus unfolding both huge commercial and societal impact. |
|
REVIVOS |
Spain |
REVIVOS will commercialize a technology solution for synthesizing new songs with the voice of famous artists. The innovation of this project is the potential commercialization of Virtual Singers modeled from original artist recordings. The synthetic voice shall preserve not only their timbre but also the expression and singing style that make them unique. This project has a clear global dimension, focusing on the Western markets because they share a common popular music culture. Potential applications include among others the production of posthumous live shows, the release of new compositions, or the rejuvenation of the voice of a living or retired artist. |

ThinkEHR Platform |
Slovenia |
Currently, structured health data stored in proprietary systems (owned by the vendor and not by the health organization) are not shared, making care coordination, real-time analytics and knowledge discovery very difficult. The platform is vendor-neutral, big-data, high-performance platform designed to store,manage,query, retrieve and exchange structured electronic health record data based on open standards. |
|
EB2BSN |
France |
The ALG platform is a Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) web application through which businesses can share their administrative documents and can benefit from alerts and always up-to-date documents. Deploying this solution at a European scale will, among others, help eliminate redundant processes and costs related to the diffusion and the collect of administrative documents. |
|
EeHPC |
France |

|
PICOMB |
Ireland |
The project will use Optical Frequency Combs that can displace single mode lasers used in long haul optical transport equipment for two decades. This will allow the use of new modulation techniques, to increase the data carrying capacity and spectral efficiency of optical telecommunications networks, currently under huge strain by the rise of mobile video, video-on-demand and other bandwidth-intensive services. |
|
Woodrow Scientific Limited |
LIRON-2020 |
UK |
The project will test the market potential of a disruptive technology that has achieved the world’s first laser-laundered shirts. This could help reduce energy and water consumption bills, improve time efficiency of laundering processes and make life easier. |
PILOTS |
France |
Virtual platforms have been mainly used to support anticipation of embedded software (eSW) development of very complex System on Chip (SoC) or for Software-based functional validation of complex IP. The explosion of the number of connected things change the complexity paradigm: the challenge is now to manage hundreds of distributed platforms (SoCs or boards) that include processors, sensors, MEMs and communication devices. Using physical board to prototype each of these platforms to verify the overall system behaviour is too expensive and not scalable for system providers. PILoTS would save time and cost, during design, verification and certification, and vastly improve competitiveness. |

Επιχειρήσεις από την Αυστρία, τη Δανία, τη Φιλανδία, τη Γαλλία, την Ιρλανδία, το Ισραήλ, τη Λιθουανία, την Πολωνία, τη Σλοβενία, την Ισπανία, την Τουρκία και το Ηνωμένο Βασίλειο έχουν επιλεγεί για να λάβουν 50.000 η κάθε μια, για διάστημα 6 μηνών, προκειμένου να καταστήσουν την επιχειρηματική τους ιδέα τεχνικά και εμπορικά βιώσιμη.
Αξίζει να σημειωθεί ότι ανάμεσα στις συμμετοχές δεν συναντάμε πουθενά ελληνικό χρώμα, γεγονός που προκαλεί εντύπωση καθώς κάποιες από τις χώρες που βρίσκονται στη λίστα δε διαφέρουν και πολύ από το ελληνικό οικοσύστημα. Οι περισσότερες από τις 30 εταιρείες είναι 2 με 5 ετών και επιλέχθηκαν ανάμεσα σε 886 προτάσεις με καινοτόμες ιδέες.
Στις 24 Σεπτεμβρίου, στις 9 Οκτωβρίου και στις 17 Δεκεμβρίου θα ανακοινωθούν κι άλλες νικήτριες εταιρείες. Αιτήσεις γίνονται όλο το χρόνο, ενώ οι αξιολογούνται σε χρονικά διαστήματα που ονομάζονται «cut-off”days. Μάθετε περισσότερα στο
