The long term strategic objective of HubIT is to contribute to the high level of European research and innovation and ensure that H2020 funded and further ICT related innovation is responsible, inclusive and aimed at reversing inequalities. The direct objective of HubIT is to build a hub that will activate and improve constructive and co-creating interactions between SSH and ICT disciplines in developing and implementing a shared vision of inclusive HubIT will activate constructive interactions between the stakeholders forming the RRI-SSH eco-system via various network and engagement activities embedded intro the WP structure, that have the overall goal of developing a tangible European Framework Model for implementing responsible and inclusive ICT research and innovation. The Framework Model is a comprehensive set of jointly developed and used definitions, guidelines and tools for enforcing RRI and SSH issues in ICT research and innovation: • The concept of responsible R&I • Matrix of the key challenges • Tool for assessment of RRI and SSH perspectives in ICT within an organisation • Guidelines for responsible ICT R&I informed by SSH • Best Practice Repository • Fact Sheets and Policy briefs • Key measurable success indicators • Policy Recommendations • Virtual Matching Catalogue • HubIT exploitation plan The mechanisms for network building, engagement and awareness rising embedded in the WP structure are: • Advisory Board workshops • Expert Group workshops • Community building and knowledge sharing – national network events, thematic workshops, policy, SSH researchers and ICT industries workshops • Practical collaborations and experimentation - Common Ground Camps, Interactive ICT Labs, Inclusive Hackathons In total 35 network activities are implemented and in total 1140 participants. HubIT online platform will be the interactive environment, where the project tools and services can be accessed in modular, visually attractive and dynamic way.

The objective of the TETRA project is to develop and implement a series of business-support activities targeted at 'R&I Actions' and their third parties funded under the topic H2020-ICT-24-2018-2019 to help turn their research results into marketable products and services and prepare them for success in the market place. The operational objectives are: 1. To identify and engage relevant R&I Actions' and their third parties funded under open internet initiative (WP2) by o Creating and pitching the TETRA value proposition to them o Identifying their market potential, as well as challenges and barriers o Conducting individual analysis and proposing targeted grow programmes o Creating a dedicated pool of mentors o Creating a dedicated supporting package 2. To assist these projects in acquiring the competences needed to bring their innovation to the market exploitation of social innovations (WP3) through a capacity building programme, addressing: o IP advisory, training and linkage to national IP programmes o Managerial and entrepreneurial skills o Soft skills (design thinking, collaboration, team management, etc.) o NGI culture and proposition o Usability, acceptability and integration elements o Tech-transfer services to digital innovation hubs (DIHs) o Training on new markets, sales and marketing model models 3. To develop vital ecosystem enabling these projects in scaling their activities (WP4) through: o Investment readiness o Brokering industry relations consisting of: o Mentoring and coaching including o Facilitating access to Public Contracts 4. To assess the impacts of the supporting activities provided and their contribution towards the accomplishment of NGI-Open Internet’s objectives (WP5)

The LIFE project is about collaborative learning from failure in entrepreneurship and collaborative actions to bring entrepreneurship forward. Although cultural diversity is one of Europe’s biggest assets, this also creates severe obstacles for entrepreneurs to scale their efforts at the pan-European level. The distributed markets, language barriers and decentralized policy leads to: lack of access to talent & relevant expertise, to sufficient financing and to adequate facilities & networks. Hinged on a yearly Failing Forward conference, the project will - map out all the relevant stakeholders and programs in each of the partnering areas in a systematic way, making this available to all web entrepreneurs across Europe in one centralized platform, - identify, share and discuss best practices & success stories This yearly pan-European conference in Brussels will be complemented with local spin-off events in the partner regions, to - generate and grow awareness that failure is an inherent part of the process of entrepreneurship and innovation; - share and celebrate the success stories that were built on incremental learning; - open up the existing startup support programs to web entrepreneurs from all over Europe

European startups fail to scale, which often is the reason why they also fail in general. To avoid this, Startup ecosystems have to be connected and support the flow of startups from one ecosystem to another. Like nature‘s ecosystems, startups follow the path of least resistance or rather of the biggest opportunities, flowing like rivers downstream, from smaller ecosystems to the larger ones. Following such logic, this Project will connect smaller startup ecosystems to the larger ones through building awareness and capcaity for scaling and providing Soft-landing support. Soft-Landing Project will: (1) organize 40 1-week Startup Ecosystem Discovery Missions with 200 participants from 4 Consortium hubs to Germany, Netherlands, France, Lithuania, Silicon Valley, and India in order to build awareness about the ecosystems and build bridges between them; (2) organize 40 ecosystem discovery mission follow-up events; (3) support the exchange of 60 speakers/mentors for Consortium hubs‘ events; (4) send 96 startups and scaleups from the 4 Consortium hubs for 1-month Soft-landing stays in the Destination ecosystems; (5) organize the European Soft-landing conference on startup migration, connecting startup ecosystems and soft-landing support; (6) produce a White Paper with policy reocmmendations; (7) provide practical advice on scaling and the available soft-landing support on the project‘s website www.soft-landing.eu and build the community around it. Consortium partners are veteran startup ecosystem development hubs, 3 of them have worked on the same Startup Europe projects before (Startup Scaleup, LIFE, Digistart) all of which have been succcessfuly implemented. The Consortium members understand the Call‘s objectives fully and drawing on their previous Startup Europe‘s project implementation experience have designed a practical, realistic and at the same time ambitious project that will connect European statup ecosystems and help startups and scaleups to scale.

SUN (Space hUb Network) aims to increase the commercialization of space enabled solutions and growth of European start-ups and scale-ups in space downstream and upstream sectors by implementing a multi-dimensional concept. To increase the number of space applications being developed as well as involve SMEs into space sector, project will organize 4 Hackathons (at least 200 participants) and 9 Roadshow events for SMEs (attended by 480 stakeholders). In order to complement (instead of competing) existing European initiatives, these events will target stakeholders of specific industries that can mostly benefit from space technologies, for example, telecom, mobility, agriculture. Space entrepreneurs (at pre-startup stage), start-ups and scale-ups will receive an opportunity to participate in mentorship programme. SUN will be implementing 3 types of mentorship programmes based on the IRL & TRL level of each participant. In total, 80 start-ups and scale-ups will participate in mentorship programmes. Main goal of it will be to help startups advance their IRL and get access to finance. SUN will also conduct extensive ecosystem mapping and will aim to build bridges among current local and international initiatives supporting space start-ups and scale-ups. SUN will complement the initiatives by matching them with space entrepreneurs. Consortium has been formed to involve organizations specializing in space technologies and applications, incubation and business support, technical support, start-ups and community building. Project activities will take place in 6 countries (Austria, Ireland, France, Lithuania, Poland, Romania) but will target start-ups and scale-ups on pan-European level.
