The European Commission have called upon start-ups and small businesses with technologies that could help treat, test and monitor the COVID-19 outbreak to apply for fast-track EU funding.<\/p>\n

The European Innovation Centre (EIC) has made \u20ac164 million<\/a> available for research and development \u2013 a European funding vehicle which supports the commercialisation of high risk, high impact technologies. The budget was proposed back in February by the EU\u2019s Horizon Europe research framework program and signed-off in aid of supporting \u201cgame-changing, market-creating innovation and deep-tech SME\u2019s to scale-up\u201d.<\/p>\n

The EIC has said it will consider the fast-track of EIC grants to coronavirus relevant innovations. EIC funding is already being used to support a number of start-ups and SME\u2019s through funding awarded in previous rounds.<\/p>\n

Check out two tech companies that have utilised the funding to develop coronavirus relevant innovations:<\/p>\n

EpiGguard<\/a>, comprises of a group of medical doctors who worked to contain the Ebola outbreak and they have developed the EpiShuttle solution, a one-person, hard-top, reusable special investigations unit (SIU). Combining modern gas disinfection technology with EpiShuttle technology, SIU presents a cost-effective and application solution for the wider global market.<\/p>\n

Smart Separations Ltd<\/a> has developed a ceramic filter known as the m-TAP project. The ceramic filter can be tailored to suit different applications in the underdeveloped global microfiltration industry and consists of highly ordered and self-assembled microchannels. It can be made into a filter system to provide provide a more controlled, versatile and low cost solution for various industries including indoor air purification.
