The enhanced European Innovation Council (EIC) pilot supports innovators developing high-risk, breakthrough innovations with the potential to create new markets. In this framework, the "EIC Accelerator" pilot (previously named SME-Instrument), is a funding and support scheme, dedicated to companies and start-ups in a relatively late stage of development of their innovative product, in all domains, for scaling up and reaching commercialization.
Representatives from the European Commission will introduce the new EIC funding and support scheme, and give practical information for submitters.
