Here are 6 lessons we learnt from this very first evaluation exercise that we think can be useful for the future applicants.

Most of the non-selected proposals were:

1. Too much focused on the project and not enough on the business opportunity;
2. Not convincing when describing the company (you have to explain why your company will succeed and not your competitor);
3. Not providing enough information on competing solutions;
4. Having a too low level of innovation, planning to develop a product that already exists on the market;
5. Proposing just an idea without any concept for its commercialisation;
6. Just trying their luck (the SME Instrument is not a lottery!).

If you keep these 6 points in mind when drafting your proposal, you may have higher chances to succeed. The next deadline for phase 1 is on the 24th September 2014 (but the call is continuously open).
