LIGAWINE - Strand 2: Open Challenges
Match Score: 65/100
Deadline: 31/07/2026
Funding Amount: 50.000€
The LIGAWINE Open Call provides Financial Support to Third Parties to implement sub-projects focused on sustainable and low-input innovation in the European wine sector. It supports the validation and market uptake of mature technologies in real vineyard and winery environments.
Why it matches: The call is a strong match for funding type (cascade funding) and eligible region (EU). It also aligns with Kalmia's technology expertise in AI and digital solutions, and the funding amount (50,000 EUR) is at the lower bound of the desired range. However, the primary industry focus on the wine sector and viticulture is not a core targeted industry for Kalmia, which significantly lowers the overall match.
