EIC Accelerator Grants

Grants of up to £2.5 million (70% grant contribution) are available to scale-up game-changing innovations from the European Innovation Council.

EIC Accelerator supports high growth SMEs, start-ups and spinouts to grow and scale-up game-changing technologies. Any technology, any application so long as it’s a breakthrough innovation.

Projects are especially welcomed that:

  • Create new markets or disrupt existing markets, or
  • Build on ‘deep tech’ scientific or technological breakthroughs, or
  • Offer high risk / high impact innovations

Grants are offered in regular application competitions. These are extremely competitive and only the very best proposals get funding. You need more than a well-scripted proposal to succeed
