Soltel shares its initiatives for H2020 at the ICT Proposers Day in Budapest

Published on 31 January, 2018

One of Soltel's growth objectives is to strengthen its presence in the international market. This will be achieved, among other ways, through participation in innovative European projects in collaboration with international partners in sectors that are strategic for the company. With this objective in mind, Soltel participated in the ICT Proposers’ Day 2017 event, held in Budapest on November 9th and 10th.

The event showcased the Horizon 2020 Work Programme 2018-2020 in the field of ICT, FET (future and emerging technologies) and Societal Challenges, offering an exceptional opportunity to build high-quality collaborations with academic institutions, researchers, industries, SMEs and administrations across Europe.
Several networking sessions were held in accordance with the pillars and topics of the New Work Programme, including an introduction to upcoming calls and presentations of project ideas made by potential proponents.
Several information sessions were held to support participants in preparing and submitting a proposal in response to an H2020 call. Topics covered included intellectual property rights (IPR), improved access to funding, the SME Instrument, and others.
Throughout the event space, a series of information stands were distributed, presenting the topics of the 2018-20 Program related to ICT and the content of the upcoming calls for proposals, and which also served as a meeting point to facilitate interaction between people interested in the same areas of research.
The venue also featured areas dedicated to informal networking and bilateral meetings, both in the main hall and in the pre-arranged meeting area of the Face2Face Brokerage event, organized by Idealist in collaboration with the European Business Network. At this event, participants could meet with potential partners in face-to-face meetings arranged in advance through the online platform.
The event was attended by more than 3,000 people, including researchers, entrepreneurs, industry representatives, young people, and legislators.

With this idea in mind, Soltel took part in the Face2Face event organized by Idealist and the Enterprise Europe NetworkThrough its regional hub at the Andalusian Knowledge Agency, the organization held a total of 29 meetings with representatives from various institutions and research organizations, universities, companies, and entrepreneurs interested in participating in IoT, precision agriculture, Industry 4.0, and citizen engagement projects. It also held several informal meetings in the networking area with entities with whom it had not been possible to schedule a meeting beforehand. Several of these meetings led to further contacts, and work has begun on forming consortia to collaborate on health and agriculture issues.

Also of great interest were the conferences on the SME Instrument and Fast Track to Innovation, where the funding conditions and requirements of both calls were explained, and several success stories from previous programs were presented.
