InnoMatch is a Coordination and Support Action (CSA) funded under the Horizon Europe Programme and a new component of the European Innovation Council (EIC) Innovation Procurement Programme. It was launched on 1 September 2024 and will be implemented over 36 months. Finding first customers is one of the main barriers that hamper access to market and commercialisation of innovative solutions developed by innovative SMEs. To mainstream the uptake of innovation procurement, InnoMatch will support the pilot testing or proof-of-concept demonstration of innovative solutions created by EIC Awardees (SMEs supported by the European Innovation Council) for public and private procurement customers (buyers). It will offer EUR 2.28 million in the context of the InnoMatch to support a total of 38 pilots, covering up to EUR 60,000 per pilot.
