EIC Pathfinder - visionary ideas for future technologies

EIC Pathfinder supports scientific and technological excellence to provide the foundations for future technologies. It operates through an Open scheme for all fields, and a Proactive scheme targeting specific challenges.

EIC Accelerator - boosting startups and small companies

The EIC Accelerator offers individual companies (startups and SMEs) both grant and equity funding to speed up their innovations to the market and scale-up. The main focus is on breakthrough innovations that create new markets.

EIC Fast Track to Innovation

FTI targets relatively mature, ground-breaking innovations that need final development to be able to shape a new market and achieve wider deployment. Participation by industry and SMEs is mandatory.

EIC Horizon Prizes - crack the challenge

EIC Horizon Prizes support solutions that bring major benefits to citizens and society. The objective of the contests is to solve a problem, without prescribing a specific solution to be implemented.

Coaching and Business Acceleration Services

Support to innovation under the EIC enhanced pilot goes far beyond financial support. The EIC offers its companies and projects free coaching, business acceleration services and access to investors, corporates and partners to boost their innovation cycle.

EIC Community

The EIC is a big community bringing together EIC-funded companies, researchers and scientists to connect and share knowledge with their peers, investors, coaches and more in a digital meeting spot.
