Supports SMEs developing innovative biomedical manufacturing solutions using multi-material inkjet processes, with funding for co-creation and pilot implementation.

Only SMEs from eligible EU regions may apply; proposals must be in English.

--- ## Description This funding opportunity aims to accelerate smart manufacturing in the biomedical sector by supporting the development and implementation of novel solutions based on industrial multi-material inkjet printing. Projects should target one of three pilot lines: functionalisation of bioscaffolds, biosensors, or personalisation of pharmaceutical products. Selected projects will work closely with the inkjet-bioAM consortium to co-create and validate innovative inkjet-based technologies that enhance healthcare outcomes and value chain integration. --- ## Due Dates - September 15, 2025: Submission deadline (single-stage full application) — 17:00 Brussels time (CEST) --- ## Funding Amount - Maximum funding per project: **€60,000** - Total available funding: **€540,000** - Expected project duration: **Up to 9 months** --- ## Eligibility - **Applicant type:** Only Small and Medium-sized Enterprises (SMEs) are eligible. - **Geographic restriction:** SMEs must be based in eligible NUTS 2 regions of the European Union, including: - NL41, DE24, DE25, RO21, AT31, AT22, AT21, ES61 - NUTS 2 less developed regions as defined by the European Commission ([list of regions](https://eur-lex.europa.eu/legal-content/EN/TXT/?uri=CELEX%3A32021D1130)) - Outermost regions as recognized under [Article 349 TFEU](https://eur-lex.europa.eu/EN/legal-content/glossary/outermost-regions.html) - **Project focus:** Proposals must address one of the three pilot lines using inkjet-bioAM technologies. - **Language:** Applications must be submitted in English. --- ## Application Process - **Submission model:** Single-stage full application. - **Submission portal:** [EU Funding & Tenders Portal](https://ec.europa.eu/info/funding-tenders/opportunities/portal/screen/opportunities/competitive-calls-cs/11004?isExactMatch=true&status=31094501,31094502&order=DESC&pageNumber=2&pageSize=50&sortBy=startDate) - **Required documents:** Complete proposal in English, addressing the pilot line and evaluation criteria. - **Evaluation:** Proposals are scored on quality/innovation, value chain contribution, technical viability, and feasibility/sustainability.
