The objective of the H2020 METABUILDING project is to boost the innovation of construction SMEs, through collaborations with other more innovative sectors. It is aimed at SMEs in the 6 target countries of the project: France, Italy, Spain, Austria, Hungary and Portugal.

This first call will finance, up to € 5,000, SMEs whose projects have an application for the construction world and which come from the building, digital, additive manufacturing, circular economy or nature-based solutions sectors.

SEED Innovation Vouchers can finance short interventions of technical, legal, financial, and business experts. Applications should demonstrate how the voucher will help an SME to validate an idea for an innovation project, evaluate the potential of a new idea or accelerate an existing innovation project. SEED Services must help contribute to the rejuvenation of the Construction sector by combining solutions, technologies and/or know-how from Digital Industry, Additive Manufacturing, Nature-Based Solutions and/or Circularity & Recycling. All applications will be considered for their impact on the construction sector (see full assessment criteria here). Please note that the SEED Innovation Voucher must be used within a period of 2 months after receiving the confirmation it is awarded.

SMEs will be able to submit their application online, between December 15, 2020 and January 31, 2021 (SEED Call Guidelines For Applicants available here).
