Que finance cet appel ?
Scope
The action supports early-stage deep-tech startups in Widening countries that have a high-impact technology, product, service or business model and the ambition to scale up. Deep tech is understood as innovation rooted in cutting-edge science and engineering, as distinct from high-tech defined only by R&D intensity.
What the grant can be used for
- Investor and market readiness: market research, value proposition, business case and model, growth prospects, intellectual property protection, competitor analysis and, where relevant, regulation, certification and standardisation.
- Maturation and validation of the technology beyond proof of concept, from at least TRL 4 up to TRL 6.
Expected results
By the end of the project, startups should have tested and validated their technology in a laboratory and other relevant environment (at least all aspects of TRL 5) and be ready to apply to the EIC Accelerator or to attract other investors, licensing or collaboration partners.
Additional support
Successful applicants and Seal of Excellence holders receive free access to EIC Business Acceleration Services such as coaching and tailored events, plus access to the EIC Accelerator Fast Track following a project review in the second half of the project.
