In particular, those who can address performance limitations in existing products or processes are in demand.

Startups, scaleups, SMEs and technology providers from Eureka countries. All technology maturity levels (TRL) are welcome, but solutions that only involve minor improvements or cheaper alternatives to existing technologies will not be prioritized.
