B2E followed all the steps of the application process for the Interface Mission, under the Recovery and Resilience Plan (PRR), and submitted CoLAB's proposal. Once approved, the funding will be used mainly to maintain the current team, as well as to purchase office supplies and computer equipment, and other strategic investments.
The tender has a total budget of €80 million, which can be used to support HR training, equipment modernization, and technical training for employees. The procedure is monitored by ANI, the National Innovation Agency, which is the entity that manages and was involved in the financing process for all CoLABs.
Next on the agenda is the presentation of two Innovation Pacts and a Mobilization Agenda for Business Innovation, in which B2E is actively involved as a partner. All of these proposals were deemed eligible and received a “Very Good” rating in November 2021.
