What expected Technology Readiness Level (TRL) should EIC Accelerator cover?

EIC Accelerator aims for a range of 5-9. The part of the project covered by the grant will start at TRL 5-6 (testing in real or relevant environment) and will conclude at TRL 8-9 (pre-serial manufacturing or product on market). In most cases the equity component will be used for deployment and scale-up.
