After an evaluation phase during which the 143 proposals submitted to the first DIVA European call for proposals were analyzed, 66 proposals ((Ireland (4), Greece (5), Italy (8), Portugal (10), Spain (18) and France (21)) and more than 100 of the most innovative SMEs have been selected and will receive a DIVA voucher to accelerate the maturation, demonstration and internationalization of their innovative ideas and the development of their activities.
Two of them are accompanied in the SATT AxLR: Mycea and Syha. They will each receive a funding of 60,000 euros for demonstrations in real environments.
For projects that have not been able to apply for this first call or have not obtained anything, a second opportunity will be offered at the end of the year. The opening of a new DIVA call is expected for the month of November.
