The deadline for applications to the EIC Accelerator is 17:00 on Wednesday 18 March (Brussels local time).
With a budget of €164m, this call is “bottom up”, meaning there are no predefined thematic priorities and applicants with Coronavirus relevant innovations will be evaluated in the same way as other applicants. Nevertheless, the Commission will look to fast track the awarding of EIC grants and blended finance (combining grant and equity investment) to Coronavirus relevant innovations, as well as to facilitate access to other funding and investment sources. Applications welcome from startups and SMEs with innovative solutions to tackle Coronavirus outbreak.
