Representatives of the twelve organisations involved in the European 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
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 iconic buildings of Barcelona’s modernist architecture.
CTA, a driving force for innovation and entrepreneurship at European level
Corporación Tecnológica de Andalucía (CTA) plays a cross-cutting role within SCAIRA, combining leadership in the project’s promotion and communication strategy with its work as a key connector within the innovation ecosystem. As the organisation responsible for Service 14 of the acceleration programme, CTA facilitates B2B meetings with industrial companies and B2F meetings with investors, reinforcing its role as a catalyst for entrepreneurship and European collaboration, supported by its experience in other acceleration and scale-up projects such as In Transit and DEVELOP.
