The ANAERGY technology developed by INGEOBRAS has been selected to be part of Phase 1 of the Horizon 2020 programme.
What is Horizon 2020?
Horizon 2020 is the European Union (EU) framework programme for innovation and research for the period 2014-2022. It has a total budget of more than €77 billion to fund different innovative initiatives and projects.
This initiative contains a programme called SME Instrument, whose focus is exclusively for small and medium-sized enterprises belonging to the European Union. Projects submitted under this programme can be individual or consortia, and receive funding throughout the innovation process through a phased grant scheme, which supports traditional or innovative SMEs that have the ambition to grow, develop and internationalise through a European innovation project.
