The consortium of COVID-X has opened its 1st Open Call framed in a 2-year initiative that will invest 4 million € to fast-track to market 30+ European data technology solutions defeating COVID-19 challenges.
The COVID-X program will unlock the full capacity of Artificial Intelligence and Data to fight COVID-19, validating, and scaling up breakthroughs to save lives.
COVID-X will fund EU Companies and Healthcare Providers to boost data-driven solutions with the power to overcome challenges in Diagnosis, Prognosis, and Follow-up. The funding is invested in products with TRL 7+ and [or in the process of], CE marking, covering two profiles:
- single players (EU Tech SMEs / Start-Ups) validating their solutions at one of the COVID-X clinical partners;
- multiplayers (Tech Provider working with a Healthcare provider that will validate the solution).
The selected projects will join an Acceleration Program which will feature technical support, ethical validation, and business coaching.
Participants will have access to the COVID-X Sandbox, a one-stop platform to exploit COVID-19 data sources, incorporating general information on data silos, as well as the integration, visualization, and exploratory analysis for easy understanding.
INESC TEC, as a member of the Enterprise Europe Network in Portugal, supports the dissemination of this event and is available for any clarifications or necessary support (een-portugal@inesctec.pt).
