We, at Blue Ocean Robotics, are part of the EU-funded project ESMERA (European SMEs Robotics Applications), a starting block for European SMEs and startups designing and developing robotic solutions. We have some real user-driven challenges that are waiting to be solved, and which we will present during our event at BloxHub. Through this project, we offer up to 200.000 financial support to further develop solutions! Within the current open call, industrial end-users have defined specific challenges that are to be solved by introducing a robotics solution. European SMEs and Start-Ups can now apply to solve one or more of these challenges. They derive from the following areas: Manufacturing, Energy, Construction, Agri-Food, Retail, Healthcare and Emergency Response. Even if you are not directly involved in the robotics industry, but have a solution which could be combined and / or applied on a robotic solution, there is the possibility to apply for the call. Thus, through this presentation, we aim to explain the funding opportunities, and how interested attendees can get access to this funding.
