A total of 18 companies from the Mobility, Transport and Automotive ecosystem have been beneficiaries of the first innovation open call launched by the RESIST Eurocluster, of which CEAGA is a member. These companies will receive up to a maximum of 30,000 euros to implement innovation projects related to the green and digital transition. These are individual or consortium projects with an execution period of 9 months and focused on three areas of action:

• Optimised digitisation of the company, through the incorporation of advanced technologies.
• Innovative solutions to have more sustainable production systems or products.
• Shift towards renewable energy innovations on the production line.

The RESIST program has a total budget of 800,000 euros from European funds to be distributed between two cut-offs.

The second cut-off has just been launched and will remain open until December 12, 2023.

In the case of individual projects, the funding will be up to 20,000 euros and in consortium it will amount to a maximum of 30,000 euros per company. In this second cut-off, up to 15 projects are expected to be financed.
