The EIT RawMaterials Start-up & SME Booster Programme is one of the EIT RawMaterials business creation funding instruments dedicated to supporting entrepreneurs.

Besides to the existing initiatives, EIT RawMaterials has recently launched Booster Call in response to the COVID-19 crisis to provide support to high-impact and growth potential start-ups, scale-ups and SMEs during the crisis, as well as help adapt and accelerate in the post-crisis economy with up to EUR 200 000 in funding.

The Call is open for start-ups, scale-ups and SMEs affected by the economic consequences of the COVID-19 pandemic and the businesses directly or indirectly contributing to mitigate technological, market and value chain challenges connected to the COVID-19 global crisis.

Additional projects from start-ups and SMEs within the EIT RawMaterials portfolio will require resources not only to fund the selected companies directly, but also to monitor the technical and business performances, and to ensure that the investments devoted by EIT RawMaterials are used in the most effective way, and a relatively short period (end of 2020).

For this reason, EIT RawMaterials seeks assistance from partners with the appropriate skills and demonstrated experience to perform the monitoring work (please see the call text here).
