Block.IS aims to build an open and collaborative cross-border, cross-sectoral innovation ecosystem that fosters the use of cutting-edge technology in three vital sectors for the European economy: agrifood, logistics, and finance. Block.IS offers the necessary business and technical support for the creation of the innovative blockchain-based solutions and their delivery to market. Thus, the project directly fosters and strengthens the competitiveness of digital SMEs (that will develop the blockchain solutions) and the SMEs of the three vertical sectors (agrifood, logistics, and finance) which will use these solutions to offer added value to their customers.

DIGITAL SME is responsible for the stakeholder mapping and engagement. It will provide a mapping of sector-related European clusters, partners networks and Digital Innovation Hubs. It will also launch a promo campaign across EU and establish one-to-one contacts with most attractive clusters and SMEs aiming to engage these with Block.IS activities & missions. DIGITAL SME will also contribute to the communication and dissemination activities, and will engage its member SMEs and its community to the Block.IS SME support and acceleration programme.

Duration: 32 months

The project is co-financed by the European Union under the Horizon2020 innovation action programme.
