The European Innovation Council infodays
The Go2Space-HUBs project is organizing several EIC infodays
The Go2Space-HUBs project is organizing several infodays and workshops about the European Innovation Council (EIC), a key novelty of Horizon Europe which represents the most ambitious innovation initiative that Europe has taken, with a budget of €10 billion for the period 2021-2027.
The European Innovation Council (EIC) has been established under the EU Horizon Europe. Its main goal is to support game changing innovations throughout the lifecycle from early stage research, to proof of concept, technology transfer, and the financing and scale up of start-ups and SMEs, through both grants and investments.
The EIC pilot phase that was launched in 2018, incorporated existing instruments under the Horizon 2020 programme and supported:
Over 430 projects on Future and Emerging Technologies, involving over 2700 partners. These projects have generated over 3000 peer reviewed scientific articles, over 600 innovations, and over 100 patents.
Over 5700 startups and SMEs, who have raised over €5 billion in follow up investments (3 euro for every euro from the EU budget) and on average, more than doubled the number of employees in a 2 year period
