Evaluation criteria include:
FRACTALS is one of the 16 Accelerator projects funded within the FI-PPP Phase 3 to support the use of FIWARE enablers in future products and services. While some of the other Accelerators will have multiple call, FRACTALS plan to only have one call and then fund 50 – 60 SME projects. While a application can be submitted to multiple accelerator calls, a proposal can only be selected and supported by one Accelerator to avoid double funding.
Across the complete programme (September 2014 - August 2016) FRACTALS has €5.52 million in funding to provide as grants of €50,000 - €100,000 to selected projects.
