EIC Pilot Work Programme 2018-2020
3
• Europe must invest more and better in breakthrough and market creating innovations and high growth companies (interim evaluation H2020)
• From 2018 there is a new Work Programme EIC pilot aimed:
• Support with no thematic restrictions innovative firms and entrepreneurs in the scaling up stage at Eu and global level.
• Addressed to companies and actors bringing radically new ideas compared to existing products and services into the market, highly risky and high investment needed.
• Market-creating innovations are new and breakthrough products/services/processes/business models opening new markets allowing companies to grow up rapidly and esponentially on the global markets.
• Market-creating innovations take shape in the intersection between different technologies, industrial sectors and scientific disciplines.

The Annotated template is a guide intended to help innovative SMEs in applying to the EIC SME Instrument 2018-2020 calls.
The guide includes annotations, explanations, examples, and more, on the basis of the original template for submission; which assist companies to better understand the requirements for filling in (Phase 1 and 2), and by so, contributes to writing better applications.
The Access4SMEs “Tips for the Pitch Interview – EIC SME Instrument PHASE 2” is a guide created to assist companies who are invited to present their innovative ideas in the Phase 2 interview session.
The information was gathered and processed by SME NCPs, and
includes insights from SME-Instrument evaluators and best-practices from winning proposals.

Feedback from Business Coaching
General positive feedback from the FET Open SMEs
VISORSURF project feedback:
• The business coaching helped us to identify relevant business needs
• The needs analysis performed together with the coach lead our company to take internal actions
• I was well informed about coaches to be able to choose the appropriate one
• Thanks to the business coaching, we changed the way to approach our challenge
• Thanks to the business coaching, we expect our business innovation project to progress faster
• Thanks to the business coaching, our business strategy improved
• I would recommend business innovation coaching to other companies
17
IMPACT feedback
1. Perform a deep dive into the company's human capital, know-how and technology base - FULLY ACHIEVED
2. Broadly identify potential markets that can be addressed - FULLY ACHIEVED
3. Analyze cost, market reach, human capital and other constraints -ACHIEVED, the most important result being identifying the need to create a position of product manager
4. Within the shortlisted markets, identify potential high-impact applications - ACHIEVED, along with a decision to change company strategy to focus on standard products
5. Analyze the potential for creating commercially viable standard products - ACHIEVED
6. Solve the strategic puzzle of what it takes to enter such markets -ACHIEVED
7. Identify expertise and commercial gaps - PARTIALLY ACHIEVED, methodology created for further work in this direction by the management
18
Q&A
• FET is today a very preliminary idea of research, with a very first draft of exploitation plan. Towards the end of the project which kind of exploitation plan/preliminary marketing strategy do you expect?
19
Systemic approach into action?

The idea: PUFs= Physically Unclonable Functions are used to uniquely identify electronic components and to protect valuable objects against counterfeiting

Turning a result of an ongoing or recently finished FET project into a genuine innovation with socio-economic impacts. Consortium or Single applicant.
Max 18 months, €100,000
Activities proposed (non-exhaustive list):commercialization process market and competitiveness
analysis technology assessment verification of innovation potentialconsolidation of IPRbusiness case development
Q&A
• How many real companies were born from a FET Open project?
22
Why FET?
Main takeaways from 224 FET Open and Proactive projects:
• 40 percent of projects had at least one partner from industry
• 32% of projects had at least one publication written with the participation of an industrial partner
• 25% of all projects had at least one patent
• 12% of FET projects led to the founding of a spin-off company
https://www.fet-traces.eu/traces/index.php
Q&A
How to exploit project results in the case a consortium is made of no-SMEs partners (only academic/RTOs)?
Preliminary answer:
• Some of these projects may lead to good science and preliminary S&T results
• A part of their impact is in spreading ideas and in publications on new technological possibilities
• Academic partners can build on the path by creating new areas of investigation, which is an explicit goal of FET

From the current situation . . .
Pathfinder…• …the Pathfinder for advanced research, for the early stages of
technology development (…)
• The Pathfinder instrument will provide grants to high-risk cutting-edge projects exploring new territories aiming to develop into potentially radical innovative technologies of the future and new market opportunities.
• It will build on the experience from the Future and Emerging Technology (FET Open) scheme supported under FP7 and Horizon 2020, including the Horizon 2020 FET-Innovation Launchpad, as well as the Horizon 2020 SME Instrument Phase 1.
• The Pathfinder will support scientific and technological research, proof of concept and prototypes for technology validation, The Pathfinder will also support Transition activities to help innovators develop the pathway to commercial development, such as demonstration activities and feasibility studies to assess potential business cases, and support the creation of spin offs and startups.
• The Pathfinder will be open to all types of innovators, from individuals to universities, research organisations and companies, in particular startups and SMEs, and from single beneficiaries to multi-disciplinary consortia.
Q&A
• Will Pathfinder be a bottom-up call, a primarily bottom-up or a top-down call? If not fully bottom-up, did you already identified some topics/macro areas of main interest?
30
The Pathfinder for Advanced Research
In order to be fully open to broad-sweeping explorations, opportunities of serendipity and unexpected ideas, concepts and discoveries, the Pathfinder will be mainly implemented through a continuous open call for bottom-up proposals. The Pathfinder will also provide for competitive challenges to develop key strategic objectives calling for deep-tech and radical thinking. Regrouping of selected projects into thematic or objective driven portfolios will allow establishing critical mass of efforts and structuring new multidisciplinary research communities.
31
Q&A
• Pathfinder: a fixed sum to each project or how much can be foreseen? The length of a project
32
Main messages
33
• FET Open and Proactive is
continuing funding for high risk,
high gain research even if FET is
part of the EIC pilot.
• FET Open success rate is strongly
improving with around 11% in the
last cut-off and most probably will
improve even more as the budget
is strongly increasing.
• In Horizon Europe the FET type of
multidisciplinary research will
continue to be supported under

Submission of proposals • Fully bottom-up approach with the removal of topics as defined in the previous Work Programmes
• Revised weighting of the award criteria - 50% for Impact, 25% for Excellence and 25 % Quality of implementation.
• Revised threshold – 13/15 for the overall final score and 4/5 at criteria level
• Starting with the highest-scoring proposal and in descendingorder, proposals are passed to the Interview stage until, either the total amount of EU funding requested is a close as possible to twice the budget available, or all proposals eligible for funding have been accounted for
• Face-to-Face Interview in Brussels• Interview process composed of two steps – Jury interview
and Panel Review
• Proposals above all thresholds in remote evaluation and receiving an A mark in the interview will be invited to GAP Invitation to GAP
Fully bottom-up and introduction of interviews are the main new features of the evaluation under EIC Pilot
