Об этой возможности
The EIC Accelerator backs single startups and SMEs with high-risk innovations close to market (TRL 6-8). It offers a lump-sum grant below €2.5M for up to 24 months of work, and can add an equity or quasi-equity investment of €1M-€10M through the EIC Fund; grant-only applications are allowed. Step 1 short proposals can be sent at any time and are batched for evaluation on the first Tuesday of each month. Full proposals follow fixed cut-offs (next listed: 4 November 2026; 2027 dates still to be published). UK applicants may apply for grant-only support.
