The twelve partners met in Barcelona on 27 and 28 January to review the closure of the third call for proposals and take stock of the two calls already completed.
Representatives of the twelve organisations involved in the SCAIRA project gathered in Barcelona on 27 and 28 January for the initiative’s fifth consortium meeting, held to coincide with the closure of the third and final call of its start-up acceleration programme.
The meeting agenda, hosted by the automotive cluster CIAC, was structured around two main modules: one focused on reviewing the project’s overall progress and the results of the latest call, and another dedicated to an internal capacity building session.
Day 1: beneficiary follow-up and third call
Following two calls already completed, a total of ten beneficiaries — start-ups and entrepreneurs from France, Portugal and Spain — have received technical, legal and market-oriented support under the acceleration programme delivered by SCAIRA. All of them share a common denominator: the innovative nature of their proposals and their applicability to the aeronautics and automotive sectors. The closure of the third and final call resulted in the submission of fifteen proposals, whose eligibility will be assessed in the coming days in line with the same criteria applied in previous editions.
Day 2: capacity building session and visit to La Pedrera
During the second day, consortium partners once again shared their capabilities and needs in a capacity building session aimed at realigning visions, objectives and expectations, designed as a simulation exercise for the preparation of a European project proposal, following almost three years of collaboration within the SCAIRA framework. The agenda concluded with a guided visit to La Pedrera, one of the most emblematic buildings of Barcelona’s modernist architecture.
