HORIZON 2020 – WORK PROGRAMME 2014-2015Innovation in SMEsIntroductionExiting the economic crisis and achieving the employment and growth targets of the Europe2020 strategy requires a competitive industry that builds its competitiveness on innovation inall its forms: development and application of technologies at the technology frontier, newbusiness and organisational models reaching out new geographic markets. The innovationcapacity of industry depends not only on large enterprises with market power but crucially onambitious entrepreneurs and small enterprises aiming for radical innovations and fast growth.Horizon 2020 and the Competiveness and SME programme (COSME) will be the majorinstruments to provide direct support and a favourable environment for growth of SMEs. Themajor contributions from Horizon 2020 to SMEs competitiveness are: the provision offinancial support to own innovation projects by the SME instrument, the possibility to engagein the context of large projects with research institutions and to access specific financialinstruments for technology and innovation based enterprises. The domains of major activitiesof the COSME programme are: providing access to financing for growth oriented companiesthat do not fall under the focus of Horizon 2020, developing better framework conditions forSME growth in the context of industrial change in particular through clusters and in sector ofstrategic interest, and supporting the internationalisation of business activities of SMEs.Horizon 2020 ‘Innovation in SMEs’ is a bridge between the core of the frameworkprogramme, the provision of support to research, development and innovation projects, andthe creation of a favourable ecosystem for SME innovation and growth. ‘Innovation in SMEs’therefore includes the SME instrument, for which budget is allocated in the SocietalChallenges and Leadership in Enabling and Industrial Technologies, the support to theEUREKA/Eurostars initiative that provides funding for transnational collaborative projects ofresearch-intensive SMEs and various actions that aim at developing and providing betterinnovation support services to SMEs. In addition the analysis of current SME innovationactivities and their future development are themes covered by innovation in SMEs. Similaractivities to these were so far funded by the ‘Entrepreneurship and Innovation Programme’(EIP) as part of CIP.‘Innovation in SME’ is a forward looking complement to the European Structural andInvestment Funds (ESIF). ESIF can help deploying innovative solutions for a better SMEsupport emanating from Horizon 2020 in the regions. Article 20 of the Horizon 2020Regulation and Article 37 of the Rules for Participation encourage synergies between Horizon2020 and other European Union funds, such as European Structural and Investment Funds(ESIF). Synergies do not mean to replace national or private funding by ESIF or to combinethem for the same cost item in a project. Synergies mean to expand the scope and impact ofboth funds in terms of scientific excellence and place-based socio-economic developmentrespectively. Applicants are therefore invited to explore potentials for synergies with therelevant Managing Authorities in charge of the ESIF programmes in their territory1A novelty in Horizon 2020 is the Open Research Data Pilot which aims to improve andmaximise access to and re-use of research data generated by projects. While certain WorkProgramme parts and areas have been explicitly identified as participating in the Pilot onOpen Research Data, individual actions funded under the other Horizon 2020 parts and areascan choose to participate in the Pilot on a voluntary basis. The use of a Data Management1http://ec.europa.eu/regional policy/indexes/in your country en.cfmPART 7 - Page 4 of 37
HORIZON 2020 – WORK PROGRAMME 2014-2015Innovation in SMEsPlan is required for projects participating in the Open Research Data Pilot. Further guidanceon the Open Research Data Pilot is made available on the Participant Portal.Mainstreaming SME support especially through a dedicated instrumentSME participation is encouraged throughout this work programme and in particular in thepriorities Industrial Leadership and Societal Challenges.SME support will be targeted with the dedicated SME instrument, which is a novel approachto support SMEs' innovation activities. It shall attract more SMEs to Horizon 2020, providesupport to a wider range of innovation activities and help to increase the economic impact ofproject results by its company-focused and market-driven approach.The SME instrument addresses the financing needs of internationally oriented SMEs, inimplementing high-risk and high-potential innovation ideas. It aims at supporting projectswith a European dimension that lead to radical changes in how business (product, processes,services, marketing etc.) is done. It will launch the company into new markets, promotegrowth, and create high return on investment. The SME instrument addresses all types ofinnovative SMEs so as to be able to promote growth champions in all sectors.In 2014 and 2015 SMEs are invited to submit proposals under the SME instrument at anytime within all Societal Challenges and Leadership in Enabling and Industrial Technologiesareas under the following call:Common call - Horizon 2020 dedicated SME instrumentSpecific challenge: The specific challenges of the topics which make use of the dedicatedSME instrument are described in the respective parts of the work programme.

HORIZON 2020 – WORK PROGRAMME 2014-2015Innovation in SMEsScope: The SME instrument consists of three separate phases and a coaching and mentoringservice for beneficiaries. Participants can apply to phase 1 with a view to applying to phase 2at a later date, or directly to phase 2.In phase 1, a feasibility study shall be developed verifying the technological /practical as wellas economic viability of an innovation idea/concept with considerable novelty to the industrysector in which it is presented (new products, processes, design, services and technologies ornew market applications of existing technologies). The activities could, for example, compriserisk assessment, market study, user involvement, Intellectual Property (IP) management,innovation strategy development, partner search, feasibility of concept and the like toestablish a solid high-potential innovation project aligned to the enterprise strategy and with aEuropean dimension. Bottlenecks in the ability to increase profitability of the enterprisethrough innovation shall be detected and analysed during phase 1 and addressed during phase2 to increase the return in investment in innovation activities. The proposal should contain aninitial business plan based on the proposed idea/concept.The proposal should give the specifications of the elaborated business plan, which is to be theoutcome of the project and the criteria for success.Funding will be provided in the form of a lump sum of EUR 50.000. Projects should lastaround 6 months.In phase 25, innovation projects will be supported that address the specific challengesidentified and that demonstrate high potential in terms of company competitiveness andgrowth underpinned by a strategic business plan. Activities should focus on innovationactivities such as demonstration, testing, prototyping, piloting, scaling-up, miniaturisation,design, marke
