ABOUT OPEN CALL HUB
Hero background
Cascade funding, also known as Financial Support to Third Parties (FSTP), is a mechanism used in EU-funded projects to distribute funding to external innovators such as startups, SMEs, and individuals. This funding is equity-free, meaning you retain full control of your project while receiving financial support to scale and succeed.To facilitate financial support to third parties (FSTP) and accelerator programs, Foodscale Hub established the Open Call Hub (OCH) - a streamlined platform connecting innovative ideas with funding opportunities within EU funded projects.Relaunched at the end of 2025 with a fresh new look, OCH was redesigned to make funding easier to access while being efficient, inclusive, and fair. Every application goes through a clear and transparent evaluation process to ensure practicality and equal opportunity.Active calls for proposals are announced directly on the platform, clearly outlining funding support, eligibility, and evaluation criteria. Participants submit their applications, which are rigorously assessed by evaluators. Top-ranked projects are selected for funding, helping innovative ideas turn into real-world impact.

In addition to funding, this division provides coaching, mentorship, and growth-focused programs designed to help innovators transition from idea to market.Managing financial support to third parties (FSTP) mechanisms is one of Foodscale Hub's (FSH) core areas of expertise.
