The project proposals submitted by companies must be consistent with the research and innovation themes of the Spoke and with the smart specialization strategy (S3) of the involved regions. The overall financial allocation is 2,200,000 €, funded by NODES PNRR.
Who can participate
Micro, Small, and Medium-sized Enterprises (MSMEs) can apply individually or collaboratively with other companies, while Large Enterprises (LEs) can only apply collaboratively.

The proposed projects must have a budget ranging from 100,000 euros (300,000 if a Large Enterprise is involved) to 600,000 euros, a maximum duration of 18 months, and be implemented in the NODES Ecosystem territory - including the Piedmont Region, the Aosta Valley Region, and the provinces of Como, Pavia, and Varese.
Facilitation
Non-repayable grants will be provided, and the maximum intensity on project expenses is calculated based on the company's size, business scope, and whether the project is submitted collaboratively.
Challenges
