EIC Accelerator Open

The EIC Accelerator is a funding program 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 and even worldwide.
• Have the ambition and commitment to scale up.
• They are looking for substantial funding, but the risks involved are too high for private investors alone to invest.

For projects that don't match the EIC Accelerator Challenge topics, the EIC Accelerator Open calls have no predefined topic. This call is for innovations in any field of technology and innovations that cut across different scientific, technological, sectoral and application fields.

Deadline (Short applications): Any time (Continuous).

Deadline (Full application): 12 March 2025 and 1 October 2025.
