The EIC Accelerator Challenge – Green Deal innovations for the Economic Recovery will finance projects which supports the Green Deal implementation by significantly contributing to at least one of the eight sustainability goals set in the agreement.

EIT RawMaterials connects stakeholders and actors from different parts of the raw materials value chain creating a unique collaborative environment for breakthrough innovations and radically new ways to address raw materials challenges.

Through 2 Open Calls (OICs) launched during the project, WeldGalaxy will select up to 25 Open Innovation Pilots. Those Pilots will enter the WeldGalaxy Support program and will become beta testers of the WeldGalaxy platform.

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.
