How to apply for TIGER services
TIGER provides comprehensive expert services for eHealth and elderly care innovators, to bridge the gap from concept to market success. The application process ensures that eligible SMEs and startups receive tailored support while contributing valuable feedback to help develop these pilot services.
Discovering Available Services
To discover the available services, visit Tigerpath.eu, then navigate to the services page. This section displays TIGER’s services’ portfolio with clear descriptions. Since services are delivered through open calls, companies must check which specific services are available during the ongoing call period. This information appears prominently on the homepage and within the application section.
Submitting Your Application
Once companies identify the service of interest, they complete the online application form by clicking “Apply to the Call.” The form requests essential details including company location, contact information, SME status confirmation, and the TIGER service they are applying for. Note that TIGER supports only digital health solutions and products addressing elderly care, excluding pharmaceutical drug development. Companies can apply for multiple services simultaneously.
Initial Review and Contact
After submission of the online application, companies receive an automated confirmation email. Within two weeks, a national TIGER expert conducts a preliminary eligibility check, verifying territorial requirements, EU company status, and alignment with elderly care or telemedicine solutions. Eligible applicants are then contacted to schedule an online consultation meeting.
Expert Consultation and Selection
During this meeting with the national TIGER expert, they explain the requested TIGER services in detail, ensure a clear understanding of requirements, and verify cohesion between the company’s needs and the requested service. To benefit from TIGER’s services, companies are obliged to provide feedback after the service provision. Following consultations, a consortium jury evaluates all applications and selects the companies to be supported within the limitations of available spots per service and per open call.
Getting Started
The selected companies will receive notification emails from their National TIGER expert and must sign the TIGER Charter before service delivery begins. This agreement formalizes the collaborative relationship where companies receive expert support in exchange for providing feedback to allow TIGER to refine its service offer. It is then time to benefit from your TIGER free service!!
