As a quick recap, this session highlighted the most relevant updates shaping the future of the EIC, from new instruments and evaluation criteria to boosted support for breakthrough technologies. The session particularly focused on the Accelerator, Pathfinder, Transition, Advanced Innovation Challenges pilot and STEP Scale-up programmes.
Special thanks to our funding experts, who offered exclusive insights into new funding novelties, strategic priorities, and support mechanisms that directly target innovative SMEs, RTOs and scale-ups in Europe.
