The EU-funded CORTEX2 project is investing €3,000,000 in its first open call to investigate, advance and demonstrate the technical features offered by its extended reality (XR) platform— aimed at facilitating remote collaboration between workers across a wide range of industries and in small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs).

CORTEX2 Open Call #1 beneficiaries will receive up to € 200,000, tailored coaching and monitoring, access to technology and business experts, capacity building on the CORTEX2 platform and XR, and exploitation support during a programme of up to 12 months.

The teams interested in joining CORTEX2’s journey can apply to its first open call to 16 January 2024 (17:00 CET) to be eligible to receive the support they need to develop their solutions in the field of XR: https://cortex2.eu/open-calls/open-call-1/.

Through its Open Call #1, CORTEX2 will support 20 projects consisting of diverse XR innovators — from tech startups/SMEs to research-oriented organisations —, involving them in the ‘Lab-To-Market’ stage to help bridge the Open Innovation gap. These will contribute to co-developing the CORTEX2 XR remote cooperation solution, an innovative digital workplace that integrates new use cases to demonstrate replicability in different areas.
