Submit your application for the EIC Accelerator
The EIC Accelerator is a European instrument supporting SMEs with growth potential by means of a subsidy or blended finance (combination of a subsidy and shareholding).
When a subsidy is granted, guidance in the form of coaching, advice and networking through matchmaking events is also provided. Each submitted file is thoroughly screened. In the case of blended finance, the company will also go through a due diligence process.
This way, the European Commission wants to ensure that innovative companies can realise their full potential and thus enable them to commercialise their innovative and disruptive technologies.
It is now possible to submit an application for an open call that has no limits in terms of topic. In addition, there are two specific calls, one of which is aimed at green innovations and the other at digital and health technologies.
Practical information
The 2021 calls are currently open. There are 2 deadlines: 16 June and 6 October 2021.
Is the EIC Accelerator something for you? Be sure to get further guidance from Magali Parent of the National Contact Point Flanders (NCP Flanders).
