The first InterConnect Open Call for Interoperable-by-design Prototypes has been launched. InterConnect is looking for bottom-up projects that will develop and test novel Interoperable applications or services for smart homes and grids, with a clear societal and economic value, on top of InterConnect’s Interoperability Framework. We are looking for 14 SMEs and will provide a support grant of up to €150.000, seven months of customised Support Programme, and access to pilot facilities to test the application. Applications are open until July 26 2022.
