Key Takeaway

The European Innovation Council (EIC) has selected 27 projects for funding, aiming to take novel technologies from the lab to market readiness. Each project, chosen from 257 eligible submissions, will receive a grant of up to €2.5 million. The selected projects cover various thematic areas and involve participants from 16 EU Member States and Horizon Europe associated countries.

Summary

  • The EIC has chosen 27 projects for funding from the September 2023 EIC Transition cut-off.
  • The selected projects will receive grants of up to €2.5 million each.
  • Participants come from 16 EU Member States and Horizon Europe associated countries.
  • EIC Transition funding supports projects from EIC Pathfinder, FET, and ERC Proof of Concept initiatives.
  • Two funding schemes include Open funding and Transition Challenges with predefined thematic areas.
  • The 27 selected projects include 12 under Open funding, 10 in “Micro-Nano Bio devices,” 1 in “Environmental intelligence,” and 4 in “Chip-scale optical frequency combs.”
  • Notable projects:
    • QlibriNANO (Germany): A hyperspectral imaging microscope using optical microresonators for nanoscale research.
    • COCOPOP (Ireland): A coherent-capable external laser source for advanced communication systems.
    • TREM2MEDS (Italy): Transplantation of engineered cells to treat neurodegenerative diseases like Alzheimer’s.
  • EIC Transition projects focus on maturing technologies from EIC Pathfinder, FET, or ERC Proof of Concept projects.
  • Access to EIC Business Acceleration Services, coaching, mentoring, and partnering events is provided to selected projects.
  • Eligibility for the fast-track scheme to access the EIC Accelerator for commercialization and scale-up phases.
  • The next cut-off date for EIC Transition applications under the 2024 work program is 18 September.
