The programme, financed by t<\/i>he European Commission, discovers, supports and funds innovative projects in the robotics industry.<\/i><\/p>\n

Ferrovial Services<\/a>\u00a0is\u00a0taking\u00a0part\u00a0in\u00a0RobotUnion<\/a>,\u00a0a\u00a0programme for acceleration of\u00a0innovative robotics projects<\/strong>.\u00a0The initiative, funded by the European Commission within the European Union\u2019s Horizon 2020 Programme<\/a>,\u00a0will\u00a0select 20 start-ups to develop projects in the field of robotics linked to the agri-food, health, civil engineering and manufacturing industries.<\/p>\n

The 20 start-ups and SMEs\u00a0selected in the first edition of RobotUnion will embark on a 6-\u00a0to 12-month acceleration process<\/strong>. For the first time, participants will be\u00a0mentored\u00a0throughout the\u00a0entire\u00a0process, from the research stage to the\u00a0setting up\u00a0of the business. During this step, Ferrovial Services, as a benchmark company in the services sector, will have continuous communication with these\u00a0new\u00a0entrepreneurs to provide support and advice<\/strong> for the development and acceleration of their projects.<\/p>\n

Each of the selected companies will receive up to 223,000 Euros equity free<\/strong> for the initial funding stages, as well as access to technological support from European robotics experts and business acceleration services. The companies with\u00a0 the best results may access up to one million Euros in additional private investment through funding cycles led by venture capital\u00a0funds\u00a0Chrysalix and Odense Seed and Venture, with the support of Blumorpho.<\/p>\n

RobotUnion aims to address the two main barriers that hinder development\u00a0and market uptake\u00a0of\u00a0robotics\u00a0technologies, namely\u00a0high installation costs and lack of knowledge\u00a0regarding\u00a0the\u00a0huge\u00a0potential\u00a0of\u00a0robotics for entrepreneurs and start-ups.<\/p>\n <\/div>\n
