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.<\/h2>\n

Representatives of the twelve organisations involved in the SCAIRA project<\/strong><\/a> gathered in Barcelona on 27 and 28 January for the initiative\u2019s fifth consortium meeting<\/strong><\/a>, held to coincide with the closure of the third and final call of its start-up acceleration programme.<\/p>\n

The meeting agenda, hosted by the automotive cluster CIAC, was structured around two main modules<\/strong>: one focused on reviewing the project\u2019s overall progress and the results of the latest call, and another dedicated to an internal capacity building session.<\/p>\n

Day 1: beneficiary follow-up and third call<\/h3>\n

Following two calls already completed, a total of ten beneficiaries \u2014 start-ups and entrepreneurs from France, Portugal and Spain \u2014 have received technical, legal and market-oriented support<\/strong> 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<\/strong><\/a> 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.<\/p>\n

Day 2: capacity building session and visit to La Pedrera<\/h3>\n

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<\/strong>, 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\u2019s modernist architecture.<\/p>\n
