RESIST Eurocluster has launched an Expression of Interest aimed at identifying small and medium-sized enterprises interested in actively engaging in the project and benefiting from tailored support to strengthen their green and digital transition and improve their business resilience.
This Expression of Interest is open to European SMEs operating in the Mobility, Transport and Automotive ecosystem, as well as SMEs based in countries associated with the Single Market Programme (SMP). Through this call, RESIST will select up to 30 SMEs to take part in a dedicated support programme.
Tailored support for selected SMEs
SMEs selected through the Expression of Interest will receive personalised guidance designed to help them prepare for future innovation opportunities within RESIST II. The support package includes:
- One-to-one mentoring sessions
- A Resilience Check to assess risks and improvement areas
- An individual needs assessment
- The design of a tailored roadmap supporting the company’s twin transition
In addition, selected SMEs will be included in a catalogue, increasing their visibility and partnership opportunities. They will also be invited to key project events, such as webinars and matchmaking sessions, and will receive guidance to support their future applications to the RESIST Innovation Open Calls.
Deadline and next steps
The deadline to submit an Expression of Interest is 28 February 2026.
To further support interested companies, RESIST II will organise a dedicated webinar in January, where the Expression of Interest process will be explained in detail and SMEs will have the opportunity to learn more about the project and ask questions.
Submitting an Expression of Interest is the first step for SMEs wishing to actively engage with the project and prepare for upcoming innovation funding opportunities within the project.
