About the event

Join us to learn about STEP (The Strategic Technologies for Europe Platform), a new Scale-Up Call published by the European Innovation Council (EIC) under Horizon Europe.

The STEP program focuses on three key areas: Digital and Deep Tech, Clean Tech, and Biotech.

This is a fantastic opportunity for SMEs and Mid-Caps (up to 499 employees) to raise equity investments ranging from €10 million to €30 million for scaling their businesses.

With a budget of €300 million available annually from 2025 to 2027, the STEP program aims to enhance Europe’s competitiveness and independence in these vital fields.

To submit a proposal, the company must secure an investment of 20% of the round (M50€-M150€) from a pre-committed investor.
