GlakoLens scored 13.8/15 (ESR) in its first SME Instrument Phase 2 (EIC Accelerator) submission receiving its third Seal of Excellence Award from the European Commission with the project titled, SaveSight2: Contact Lens Embedded Sensor for Ocular Hypertension and Glaucoma Monitoring. The Seal of Excellence was awarded for the last cut-off of the EIC Accelerator program within the Horizon 2020 Framework, the most competitive round so far with more than 1700 submissions.
The Seal of Excellence is a quality label awarded to project proposals submitted to Horizon 2020 which succeeded a highly competitive evaluation process by independent experts but did not receive funding due to budget limits. This quality label is a guarantee for investors to find disruptive project proposals from European SMEs with high growth potential.
