The Infrastructure Development Instrument of eSSIF-Lab will support these innovators to provide scalable and interoperable open source SSI components for eSSIF-Lab Framework with up to 155 000 euro funding.
Selected companies under this instrument will have the opportunity to take part in a very active and collaborative ecosystem with other eSSIF-Lab participants to:
- improve framework’s vision, architecture, specifications etc.
- ensure interoperability (at the technical and process levels) and
- address each other’s issues jointly
