Welcome to the VIDA Voucher Scheme
Please use the following links to apply and find out more:
The VIDA project has received funding from the European Union’s Horizon 2020 research and innovation program under grant agreement nº 777795. VIDA – Value added Innovation in fooD chAins– aims to accelerate the implementation of new solutions (preferably key enabling technologies) in the food sector which improve the usage of water and energy with the ambition to reduce losses and consumption. VIDA has three different types of funding vouchers to support small and medium-sized enterprises (SME) seeking new resource efficient solutions.
The Innovation Support Voucher (ISV) provides in-kind and/or financial support to SME in the food, water, energy or key enabling technologies1 (KET) sectors to get access to external knowledge and expertise. The Validation Voucher (VV) allows innovators to get their technological development validated. The Demonstration Voucher (DV) offers consortia an opportunity to demonstrate their new developments on site of a ‘prospective user’.
VIDA has created a collaboration space consisting of workshops and an online matchmaking portal called ‘CLOU5’, to be complemented by matchmaking events that will allow enterprises to identify a suitable partner matching the needs of a prospective user. In a second step, the SME and the partner(s) can apply for a joint ‘Demonstration Project’ to demonstrate an innovation in the value chain. Follow-up coaching and transfer activities by the VIDA partner organizations will maximize the impact of these collaborative innovation projects.
Co-funded by the Horizon 2020 Framework Programme of the European Union.
