The EIC Accelerator is the flagship EIC funding instrument for individual startups and SMEs with high-risk, high-impact innovations targeting large markets. It offers up to €2.5M in grants and up to €15M in equity investment (blended finance), or a grant-only option. Open to any tech sector, with strong focus on deep tech, green, and digital. Acceptance rates are typically 3–5%. Applications go through a three-stage process: short application, full proposal, and in-person panel interview in Brussels. Non-EU nationals can apply if based in an eligible country.
