The European project SCAIRA launches the third and final call of its start-up acceleration programme, with the aim of continuing to provide top-quality advice — legal, technical, and business — to entrepreneurs and innovative companies from southern France, Portugal, and Spain who are ready to take their ideas to the next level. Register on our platform and get in touch with us for any questions or support!
From eureka to market in six months
Co-funded by Interreg SUDOE, SCAIRA offers a six-month transnational acceleration programme that includes at least five of the fourteen available services, organised into three areas: legal and administrative, technical consultancy, and market access.
In a nutshell, SCAIRA offers you:
- Comprehensive mentoring with leading European industrial experts to refine and strengthen your idea in every aspect.
- B2B and B2F meetings, along with public-private funding opportunities, to drive your project’s growth.
- Tailor-made workshops on product development, marketing, and scaling strategies.
- Networking with key figures from the European entrepreneurial ecosystem.
Participant profile
The programme is aimed at start-ups, entrepreneurs, and students within the Interreg SUDOE area (southern France, Portugal, and Spain) who are developing innovative products or services with potential applications in the automotive and/or aerospace sectors, both characterised by their cross-cutting nature. SCAIRA seeks to boost early-stage or scaling-up projects that offer viable solutions in key fields such as technology, robotics, logistics, sustainability, industrial symbiosis, and digital transformation.
