Editorial
The next and last “Round B” deadline, for web entrepreneurs committed to
develop a pilot project, is provided for September the 30th.
We remind that “Round B” offer:
- Co-funding of 75% of project budget, with a maximum of a € 75.000,00
for incentive.
- Benefiting from a wide range of free support services to speed up the
development process (tutoring, mentoring, matchmaking and networking).
- Accessing a pro-active, networked environment to get connected with
investors, potential customers and stakeholders.
- Negotiating eventual large-scale testing of the product through in
situ pilots in different EU cities (Florence, Amsterdam, Rotterdam,
Valladolid and Birmingham) and access to specific typology of open data.
- Identifying additional funding (investment readiness path,
crowd-funding, fundraising support).
If you are an ICT developer and you have a good idea for a smarter urban
life of EU citizens, about topics like quality of life, mobility, resource
efficiency, tourism, cultural heritage, health and whatever can make
citizens modern life easier, you can participate directly “Round B”,
without passing through “Round A”, to develop your idea in a project.
*The next and last deadline "round B" is: 30 September 2015* APPLY NOW

Start acceleration program to suppot developers *Something about Portuguese
experience:*
On January the 22nd, IPN hosted the kick-off session of the 13 Portuguese
projects approved in project SOUL-FI's first call. These 13 projects are a
result of the first Round A cut-off date, in which a grand total of 49
projects were awarded across Europe. They are going to be granted 10.000€
for the development and validation of their projects' business model by
implementation of a proof of concept, as well as specialized tutoring
provided by a dedicated SOUL-FI team member. Through the session each of
the teams had the opportunity of presenting their project to the other
participants, and get to know IPN's SOUL-FI team, which will guide them
through the next three months, in the acceleration program designed for
this Round A.
*Something about Italian experience:*
On February the 5th, Foundation for Research and Innovation of the
University of Florence hosted the kick-off session of the 6 Italian awarded
projects, SOUL-FI's Round A1. All the participants presented, by means of a
pitch, their business and the winning design of the call. Some of them were
present n person and other via Skype. It was a good opportunity to get to
know the Italian team, relate to them and begin the acceleration program,
through the services of tutoring, mentoring and coaching included in Soul
FI Project.
