The EIC Accelerator is a funding programme under Horizon Europe that offers support to start-ups and SMEs that have an innovative, game changing product, service or business model that could create new markets or disrupt existing ones in Europe, have the ambition and commitment to scale up, and are looking for substantial funding, but the risks involved are too high for private investors alone to invest. The portal provides a wealth of information including funding criteria, information about available grants and investments and a detailed tutorial of the application process. The primary objective of these grants is to help start-ups and SMEs scale up their innovative ideas.
