Watch the recording of our Info Day #35 and explore funding opportunities in AI, knowledge valorisation and cross-border collaboration!
The 35th edition of the Sploro Cascade Funding Webinar Series brought together two European projects, VALLEYS and LLM-BRIDGE, to present funding opportunities focused on AI-driven entrepreneurship, knowledge valorisation and cross-border collaboration. Both initiatives aim to strengthen Europe’s innovation ecosystems by supporting knowledge exchange, digital tools and startup incubation.
Throughout the session, we took a closer look at the three funding strands offered by VALLEYS, covering the integration of AI-enabled tools, cross-border staff exchanges and a combination of both approaches. We also explored the LLM-BRIDGE Open Call for Incubators, which supports the development of incubation programmes for European startups working on Generative AI and Large Language Models. Participants gained insights into the available funding, eligibility criteria, application requirements and evaluation processes, along with practical advice from the project teams.
