About the EIC Ecosystem Partnerships and Co-investment Support Programme
The EIC Partners are selected under the EIC Ecosystem Partnerships and Co-Investment Support Programme, which is expanding the EIC Business Acceleration Services (BAS) by taking on two of the greatest challenges for EIC innovators: accessing specialized sector-focused services and attracting private investors.
Through a series of partnerships with key actors, the EIC is helping its beneficiaries access specialized, sector-focused resources, facilities, and expertise to address their individual needs. The programme is also promoting co-investment along the EIC Fund, namely by supporting and facilitating interactions between beneficiaries and investors.
