Anyone wanting to submit a project proposal should detail their innovative solutions, target audience and potential impact via the web platform Agorize.

Chairman and chief executive at Ceva Marc Prikazsky said: “We are excited to launch the 2024 Call for Projects.
“Companion animals play an essential role in our lives, and we are convinced that by fostering innovation we can improve their well-being and ensure they receive the care they deserve.
“With the increasing humanisation of pets, our furry companions have become members of the family. ‘Pet parents’ are increasingly looking for new solutions to provide them with the best possible care.
“That’s why we encourage individuals and organisations from diverse backgrounds to participate and help us discover game-changing solutions for companion animal health.“
