Over the course of its 42-month duration, the Energy ECS project, funded by the Chips JU, has been a remarkable journey of innovation. Supported by Spinverse in proposal preparation and project management, this initiative was led by Tietoevry Finland. The project brought together 28 partners from across 8 European countries to revolutionise smart and secure energy solutions for the future of mobility.
We are very happy to announce three new colleagues joining Spinverse. Sirpa Komppa brings onboard her strong expertise on sales and marketing, whereas Oso Nuottamo and Nea Heiskanen represent young talents in economics, econometrics and finance.
The DTRIP4H consortium, supported by Spinverse's digital health team during their project proposal phase, has been awarded a substantial EUR 11.9 million lump sum grant from Horizon Europe. This new initiative called ‘Decentralized Health Digital Twin Ecosystem Consisting of RIs (DTRIP4H)’ aims to transform European healthcare research infrastructures by using cutting-edge generative AI and digital twin technologies integrated with virtual reality (VR). Digital twin technologies driven by generative AI will enable the creation of virtual models of physical systems, allowing researchers to test and enhance real-world processes.
Spinverse supported the groundbreaking PREDICTFTD project, an ambitious Horizon Europe initiative with a budget of almost EUR 8 million, aiming to transform the diagnosis and treatment of frontotemporal dementia (FTD). With a total duration of 54 months, this project seeks to accelerate the validation of predictive liquid biomarkers, which hold the potential to significantly enhance early detection and classification of this debilitating condition.
Spinverse successfully supported Fraunhofer in securing a substantial grant with a total of EUR 730 million for a new Microelectronics pilot line under the recent EU Chips Act. The funding from Horizon Europe and Digital Europe Programmes is earmarked for a groundbreaking APECS pilot line focused on Advanced Packaging and Heterogeneous Integration of Electronic Components and Systems.
Spinverse’s Digital Health team supported the preparation of EU4MEDTECH project, an ambitious Horizon Europe initiative. It aims at developing a versatile life cycle framework for the generation and evaluation of clinical and performance evidence of high-risk, innovative Medical Devices (MDs) and In Vitro Diagnostics (IVDs) in pre- and post-market.
We at Spinverse had the honour to work with our clients on several project proposals during spring 2024 and were very excited to learn that six significant projects were awarded to receive funding in this round. In all, the Innovation Fund announced 85 groundbreaking projects selected to receive a total of 4.8B€ in grants. These projects aim to reduce greenhouse gas emissions by 476 million tonnes of CO2 equivalent over a time span of ten years.
The European Innovation Council (EIC) provides various funding schemes tailored to different stages of innovation and growth. Here is an overview on what is available in 2025, including how much funding you can apply for, who can apply, and funding rates across the EIC's key programmes Pathfinder, Transition, Accelerator, and STEP Scale Up.
The UNLOOC project (Unlocking the data content of Organ-on-Chips), launched in May 2024 in Germany, is a three-year initiative focused on creating Organ-on-Chips (OOC) technologies to reduce animal testing and bridge the gender gap in drug development. Funded by the Chips Joint Undertaking and national agencies, the project uses human cells to enhance personalized medicine and tackle gender disparities inherent in clinical research. Spinverse supported the consortium during the project proposal phase and is now taking care of the daily administration of this fascinating project.
In October, we organised an event in Gothenburg, Sweden, to ignite discussions on what lies ahead for the European innovation from the Swedish point of view. The afternoon event was well attended and filled with excellent keynotes, networking and insightful discussions.
