Are you a public or private entity located outside of the EU or an international organisation looking for innovative solutions to address some of your key challenges? The EIC Innovation Procurement Programme powered by SPIN4EIC can help you connect with some of the world’s most innovative Start-ups, Scale-ups and SMEs which can offer you cutting-edge solutions tailored to your needs.

This initiative aims to connect start-ups, scale-ups and SMEs backed by the EIC with buyers of innovation within and outside of Europe.

As a buyer located outside of the EU, what’s in it for you?

SPIN4EIC bridges the gap between the supply and the demand of innovation, with the aim to facilitate procurement opportunities for EIC innovators.

As a buyer of innovation, this initiative is your gateway to Europe’s most innovative deep-tech Start-ups, Scale-ups and SMEs in a wide range of domains such as green transition, health and advanced digital solutions. It can offer you for free:

  • Increased visibility of your procurement notices through dissemination in our network of over 6,000 innovative start-ups;
  • Tailored matchmaking by identifying EIC innovators matching your needs and facilitating meetings;
  • Possibility to organise a matchmaking/pitching event around your own needs.

As an example, check out here how we collaborate with the World Economic Forum’s First Movers Coalition.

How can you engage?

If you are a buyer of innovation, whether from a public organisation, a private company or an international organisation, located within or outside of the EU, we encourage you to reach out to the SPIN4EIC team.

The team will organise an introductory call in which it will assess your needs and define the best way SPIN4EIC can help and next steps.
