The WORTH Partnership Project II is the second edition of the WORTH Partnership project that took place from 2017 - 2021. During these 4 years of operation, 152 transnational consortia have been selected in 3 calls, in which 350 partners from 34 countries of the COSME environment have participated.
The first call is now open until February 2nd, 2022. The projects selected will enter into an incubation programme to develop new businesses, including
- 10.000 to 20.000 € in financial support
- coaching on business strategy and technology development;
- legal advice on intellectual property rights and protection;
- participation in exhibitions;
- networking and professional links.
WORTH Partnership Project II is focused on the textile and fashion, footwear, leather and furniture and interior decoration, jewelry and accessories sectors. WORTH is about creating a relevant community throughout Europe whose members share a common vision and values around design and innovation. Therefore, through WORTH you can find a European community with: mentors that are experts in supporting the partnerships to successfully implement the selected projects through the acquisition of technical and business knowledge, skills and capacities; a steering board and members who are experts in charge of carrying out transparent evaluations of the proposals, providing feedback and advice. The community also involves ambassadors from relevant professions and institutions around Europe committed to promoting the shared vision and design values of WORTH.
If you are a self-employed professional or an SME active in any of the eligible lifestyle industry sectors: textile/fashion, footwear, leather/fur, furniture/home decoration/interior design/architecture, jewelry, and accessories; and have any of the following business activities: design, manufacturing/craftsmanship, technology development, it is a great opportunity for you and your stakeholders, EURADA encourages you to take part in this opportunity.
If you have any questions or would like more information, please do not hesitate to contact Cristina MOLINA from AITEX, to the Worth project Helpdesk support, for Matchmaking facilitator / guidance on the preparation of the application or to our colleague Julia COLOMER.
