SmartAgriHubs offers funding to digital innovation services providers through open calls.  26 May 2021 was the last deadline for the PREPARE open call, and one of the batch deadlines for EXPAND and RESTART. Each open call has its own goals and set of selection criteria. 

In summary, the PREPARE, EXPAND and RESTART open calls are already:

• Providing 1.7 million € as funding to the selected proposals
• Mobilising 8.2 million € by the teams to realise these activities from other sources
• Involving 181 partners in the selected proposals (i.e. not counting participants in the hackathon type of activities)
• Preparing or realising 35 Innovation Experiments 

The open calls were first launched in May 2020. Since then, our community has evolved: we are looking forward to welcoming new projects and partners!
