The Line A call supports collaborative industrial research and experimental development projects, inherent to Spoke 5 themes, promoted by Small and Medium Enterprises (SMEs), Start-Ups and other entities.

Specifically, the NODES ecosystem involves the implementation of cascading calls to support projects through the provision of appropriate funding.

The goal is to reach companies with a strong interest in introducing significant innovations in relation to products, processes or services, which will then be recipients of:

financial support to third parties with the aim of achieving specific objectives, in the area of digital innovation and Health;
support pilot projects, demonstrations and/or experiments on a specific innovative technology or facility.
The projects expressed are oriented toward high technology size and maturity levels (TRL<7). The research and innovation themes are contained in Annex 6 of the call.
