URBAN TECH
in a nutshell
URBAN TECH provides EU-based SMEs and start-ups with funding, mentoring and training to develop new market opportunities in the areas of Health Tech, Greentech and Smart Cities.
URBAN TECH was a 3-year project funded by European Union’s Horizon 2020 research and innovation programme under grant agreement No 101005301. The project supported the acceleration of competitive success of European SMEs through market launch of new or significantly improved products and services with higher value in Health Tech, Smart City and Greentech industry sectors. From 2021 to 2024, the URBAN TECH programme provided an opportunity for solution providers (companies and start-ups based in the EU) to propose solutions to more than 300 challenges. The more than 160 companies were able to validate the solution with Challenge Owners during the Hackathons. 80 companies were selected to develop an MVP and 33 were able to do Piloting with the help of mentor and experts. Out of the 33 selected companies, 23 continued to a Market Discovery Phase.
