HORIZON 2020 SME Instrument

- single SME applicant

- can include sub-contractor partners

The SME instrument is part of the Europe-an Innovation Council pilot (EIC pilot), which is part of the Horizon 2020 Work programme 2018-2020 and combines the SME Instrument, EIC Fast Track to Innova-tion (FTI), Future and Emerging Technolo-gies (FET)-Open and EIC Horizon Prizes as a 'one stop shop' for funding of innova-tors/innovations in the EU.

The SME Instrument supports high-risk, high-potential SMEs to develop and bring to market new products, services and business models that could drive econo-mic growth.

The SME Instrument is for innovators with ground-breaking concepts that could shape new markets or disrupt existing ones in Europe and worldwide.

Creative and ICT industries may be the SME applicant for the SME Instrument, or indeed a sub-contractor to the main SME Instrument applicant/beneficiary.

There are no set topics. Negative impacts on climate and the environment should be avoided.
