EIC ACCESS+: Supporting Europe’s Deep-Tech Innovators
The European Innovation Council (EIC) Business Acceleration Services launched an open call in November 2024, through the EIC ACCESS+ project. The call is open until 31 May 2026 and offers up to EUR 60,000 in grants, covering up to 50% of the costs, to access specialised services from the EIC Service Catalogue for European deep-tech startups and SMEs. Companies can use the funds to access resources to accelerate their growth and scale their innovations.
Who can apply?
The open call is open to EIC Awardees (from the EIC Pathfinder, Transition, and Accelerator programs) and Seal of Excellence holders (under the Horizon Europe Programme). The EIC Awardees from the EU countries or the Associate Countries are encouraged to apply.
How to apply for funding: Learn more on the EIC ACCESS+ website.

About the EIC Service Catalogue
The EIC Service Catalogue is brought to you by the EIC Ecosystem Partnership Programme. This programme is creating a network of partner organisations to address one of the greatest challenges for EIC innovators: accessing specialised sector-focused services. By forging new strategic partnerships with key actors such as business accelerators, incubators, research and training organisations, the EIC helps its innovators access their resources, facilities and expertise so that no individual need is left unaddressed. These offers are then listed in the EIC Service Catalogue, a searchable platform through which EIC beneficiaries and Seal of Excellence holders can explore the service offers from the EIC Partners.
For any questions or technical issues concerning the programme, please contact us through the EIC Community’s contact page with the subject ‘EIC Ecosystem Partnership Programme’, or contact our helpdesk at eicpartnerships-helpdesk@eic-bas.eu.
