Application process and deadline

The EEN2EIC project aims to improve EU innovation support by increasing the capacity of SMEs to apply to the EIC and helping Seal of Excellence holders finance their projects, while avoiding overlap with NCPs activities.
The project will develop cooperation between the EIC and EEN to support innovation and scaling up companies, with a focus on supporting potential EIC applicants from underrepresented countries, third countries associated with Horizon Europe, women-led innovative companies, and Seal of Excellence holders.
The goal is to assist these groups in accessing alternative funding and sharing best practices within the EEN network.
