The EIC Accelerator Challenge focuses on innovations of digital and health technologies which build on scientific discovery or technological breakthroughs (‘deep tech’) and supports projects where significant funding is needed over a long timeframe before returns can be generated.

The purpose of the tender is to enable companies to obtain bank loans faster, easier and cheaper, therefore, ensuring the growth and development of SMEs through new investments, modernization of technological equipment and the provision of working capital in connection with investments and development projects.

The EIC Accelerator is designed for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMES) with radically new ideas underpinned by a business plan for rolling out marketable innovation solutions and with ambitions to scale up.

With its Pathfinder programme the EIC supports the exploration of bold ideas for radically new technologies. It welcomes the high-risk / high gain and interdisciplinary cutting-edge science collaborations that underpin technological breakthroughs.
