The objective of the initiative is to provide an overarching platform connecting national, local and European research and innovation programmes and combining in-cash and in-kind resources in support of one goal - by 2030 biodiversity in Europe is back on a path of recovery.
It co-develops multidisciplinary research and innovation programmes with stakeholders, setting up a European network of harmonised observatories for biodiversity monitoring, providing evidence base for nature-based solutions development and deployment, as well as implementing a broad range of activities to increase the relevance, impact and visibility of EU research and innovation in tackling the biodiversity crisis in line with the EU Biodiversity Strategy for 2030.

Avia-GIS is a Belgian innovative SME established in 2001. They have built research and public authority trust over the past 19 years and developed a unique, disruptive software suite - VECMAP® - that supports society to overcome one of its important health threats, the spreading of Pests of Public Health importance.
With the help of a Horizon 2020 SME Instrument Phase 2 project, they will be able to add Integrated Pest Management functionalities and go to the market. With the grant, that was an essential component of their second investment round, Avia-GIS aims at raising its revenue from the current 2 M€ to 14.2 M€ in 2024, and increase the headcount from 15 to 58.
