Each EXPERIMENT will fund consortia of two SMEs, namely one user/adopter SME and one provider SME, to experiment with MBD either by integrating the HUBCAP ecosystem offers or implementing in a new MBD CPS solution.

For the first release of this call, the cities of Toulouse and Milan are participating. They present specific mobility challenges that need to be addressed and will be hosting the pilots to tackle these challenges. During the implementation of the activities, the pilots will take place in parallel. The pilot implementation will be co-funded by EIT Urban Mobility and administratively supported by the cities

The selected use-case owners will participate in a workshop that aims to engage them in the project objectives & activities and guide through the process of detailing their use-case to be increase the chances of being selected to participate in the further project open calls.

The project wants to reduce the digitalisation gap by creating the space for small institutions to voice their needs and offering them access to knowledge, resources, expertise, and an incubation and skill-building programme.

Beneficiaries: SMEs or Midcaps, that have proven business activity in one of the following 9 regions: Eastern Slovakia (SK04), Slovakia; Southern (HU23), Hungary; Adriatique (HR03), Croatia; Center (RO12), Romania; Capital Region (LT01), Lithuania; Central & Western region (LT02), Lithuania; Ukraine; Prague (CZ01), Czech Republic; Belgrad (RS11), Serbia

• THEME-DRIVEN (Track 1): REACH consortium has in collaboration with the 3 leading European Digital Innovation Hubs onboard defined the cross-sectorial Data Value Chain (DVC) themes to be tackled by participants. DVC themes available in the first open call are tourism & entertainment, energy, circular economy, digital marketing, agriculture and retail manufacturing/industry, healthcare and insurance.
• READY-MADE (Track 2): Applications will deal with challenges defined by the REACH Data Providers according to the needs detected in their market (JOT Internet Media, Migros Ticaret A.Ş., Sonae MC, Yapı Kredi Teknoloji, De Vlaamse Radio- en Televisieomroeporganisatie nv (VRT), Play&go experience, Idea75, Almerys, EDP, COFARES, An Group, and Biilbao Council)
• FREE CHOICE (Track 3): Applicants will devise novel DVCs by bringing their own data provider/s and/or their own datasets with those already facilitated within the REACH Data Catalogue. The applicant, a single SME, will apply together with their own Data Provider/s (at least one) proposing a joint challenge to be solved.

Applicants must select one challenge of one of the project pilots – (i) port automation, (ii) smart safety of workers and (iii) cohesive vehicle monitoring and diagnostics.

Support is provided thorugh two actions:

• MINE-PoC Voucher provides financial support of up to €25 000 per SME for the design and implementation of a prototype/proof of concept to demonstrate its feasibility.
• MINE-Demo Voucher provides financial support of up to €50 000 per SME for the development and testing in a production environment of a simple functional pilot or demonstration with all the major features of the product/service/solution.
