📢 Open Call 3 is HERE 📢 We are launching our 3rd open call for cross-border corporate-startup partnerships to drive digital transformation.

Our goal is to bring your partnership into the other half. And if you ask yourself the question “At what cost?”, the answer is simple: at no cost. The EU-LAC Digital Accelerator programme offers in-kind services valued at up to €30,000 (or €40,000 if a Caribbean partner is involved) that will: ⏺️ Ensure the technical feasibility of the product you’re building together ⏺️ Give you the best chances to make investors say “You have my money” ⏺️ Turn your product into a solid money-making machine 👉 Learn more and apply before 30 April: https://lnkd.in/dHCnRKcK #GlobalGateway #TeamEurope #EULACDigitalAlliance European External Action Service European Commission European Innovation Council and SMEs Executive Agency (EISMEA)
