EIT Manufacturing BoostUp! 2022
Awards €20,000 cash prizes to startups already piloted with big manufacturing corporates.
EIT Manufacturing BoostUp! 2022 is an EIT Manufacturing prize that awards €20,000 cash to up to eight startups already piloted with a large manufacturing corporate, to help scale their solution — plus an extra €5,000 bonus prize each for the top-ranked startup from a Regional Innovation Scheme (RIS) country and the top-ranked female-led startup. The competition culminated in an in-person BoostUp! …
Open to startups whose solution falls within one of EIT Manufacturing's flagship areas — flexible production systems, low-footprint/circular manufacturing, digital and collaborative manufacturing ecosystems, or human-machine co-working — and who have already proven their technology through a pilot or proof-of-concept with a large manufacturing corporation. Companies must be founded in 2017 or later with a Technology Readiness Level of 7 or higher.
