SME Instrument: three phases1.Feasibility study (upto €50,000). To fund a 6-month feasibility study. Application is short (10 pages) but requires firms to set out a clear business plan, and to have a new product development as part of that agenda.2.Innovation activities, e.g. testing, scaling-up, market replication (70/100% funding). Successful companies will be granted between €500,000 and €2.5 million for demonstration and piloting the product. Whilst the money will be available solely for SMEs, research and technology organisations may also be able to benefit from contracts under the projects. 3.Facilitating access to risk capital – mentoring (no direct funds)
