Horizon 2020
Horizon 2020 is the biggest EU Research and Innovation programme ever with nearly €80 billion of funding available during 2014-2020.
The main goals are the development of excellent science, removing barriers to innovation and to ease the exchange of information between public, private sectors and the public.
However, every selected project needs to be useful to the society by tackling societal challenges. Moreover, it should achieve excellent science and develop, and maintain, an industrial leadership in Europe.

SME Instrument
Furthermore, the project above includes the SME Instrument which is a special funding for Small and Medium-sized Enterprises focused in growing and succeeding in internationalization.
In addition, the funding offers a great opportunity to companies with brighter and more innovative projects to take a large step forward. As a result of this, its main focus is the most disruptive organizations. Those ones could potentially create new markets or transform the actuals.
ZoitechLab, creator, manufacturer and distributor of the Seminal Quality System, participates in this project, the SME Instrument Phase 2, that lasts 18 months. Consequently, our organization is aiming to be the driver to a cheaper, faster and more precise artificial insemination, saving time and resources to anyone who belongs to this field.
