When: Applications are accepted anytime, and are reviewed in batches every two months (8 July, 2 September and 3 November 2026)

Where: Online

Info: The EIC Accelerator is a funding programme under Horizon Europe that offers support to start-ups and SMEs that:

• have a innovative, game changing product, service or business model that could create new markets or disrupt existing ones in Europe and even worldwide,
• have the ambition and commitment to scale up,
• are looking for substantial funding, but the risks involved are too high for private investors alone to invest

How to apply: Short applications are accepted until the first Tuesday of the month at 5 p.m. and then evaluated. Applicants will be informed of the results within 4 to 6 weeks of the start of the assessment. If you receive a GO on your short proposal, you will be invited to submit a full proposal.
