2nd Round of OpenCosmos Virtual Accelerator Programme
Top-Notch support for up to 100 innovative SMEs and Start-ups towards commercialisation and strategic growth of their innovations
Three years ago we started the first ever virtual accelerator programme that lead to some very successful cases. We repeat now the second round of OpenCosmos Virtual Accelerator Programme. We know from first experience that there is nothing else that can accelerate the success of an innovative SME/startup or spin-off in Horizon Europe and in the fundraising game. OpenCosmos founder, Dr. Nikolaos Floratos is a business angel and a member of the European Business Angel Network as well as EIC Accelerator evaluator on behalf of the European Commission with over 25 years of experience in European Research and Innovation funding. OpenCosmos combines in one place top services for highly innovative organisations such as
- external evaluation of your EIC Accelerator proposal or your proposal under European Innovation Ecosystem project as third party before submission,
- Introducing your company to the most successful EIC accelerator proposal writers that are paid on a success fee and not necessarily also with an upfront fee,
- Introducing your company to potential early stage investors
- consultancy on proposal development other than EIC accelerator,
- matchmaking/partnering based on AI calibrated to the next two years R&I funding calls,
- access to a wide list of top-notch trainings currently more than 20 different courses (live and recorded ones) including our most popular one on Intelligent Grants Networking for mastering the game on how to identify and join collaborative research & Innovation grant, applications and collaborate with the top-names in your industry,
- monthly live coaching sessions (including Q&A),
- awareness about all funding opportunities in Europe every month and
- access to our just launched virtual accelerator that includes specialised trainings on fundraising, essential resources and knowledge repository in fundraising and our growing matchmaking platform with clients, investors and partners.
We can always discuss how OpenCosmos annual membership can be covered also as an eligible expense from European or National Funding programmes
