Media: Innovation accelerator Eindhoven Engine enters new phase

As a society, we face numerous challenges. At Eindhoven Engine, a collaborative program between companies, knowledge institutions, social organizations and citizens in the Brainport region, work has been going on for years on innovations to address these problems. Now the program is breaking new ground.

Eindhoven Engine prepares OpenCall 2020

Last year, the Eindhoven Engine had its first open call for innovation projects, a follow-up to the PilotCall 2018 (through which the Eindhoven Engine was founded). OpenCall 2019 resulted in four new innovation projects within the Eindhoven Engine.

Recently, we have begun to prepare for OpenCall 2020, which is expected in the first half of this year. More specifically, the plan is to open the call before March with a submission deadline of early June, allowing the selected projects to start in July. In this new OpenCall 2020, we want to address the lessons learned from the first OpenCall and are considering ways to allow for better SME participation in the Engine’s innovation projects. More details to follow later. In the meantime keep updated via Twitter and/or LinkedIn.
