In a short webinar on October 7, 2019, Andrea Hofmann, project manager of the IT Logistics Cluster, provided an overview of the current open call for the EU-funded Blockchain Innovation Spaces (Block.IS) project.
The vision of the Block.IS project is to establish an open, cross-border, and cross-sector innovation ecosystem that promotes the use of blockchain technology in the agriculture and food, logistics, and finance sectors, which are important for the European economy.
An open call/call for proposals is currently underway as part of the project. SMEs and start-ups that want to develop blockchain-based products, processes, and business models with high market potential in the above-mentioned sectors are eligible for funding. Companies can receive up to €60,000 in funding as part of the project.
The webinar gave interested companies an overview of the open call process and the funding opportunities available within the Block. IS project.
