40 new projects selected for EIC Transition funding

The European Innovation Council (EIC) has selected 40 projects following the 2024 EIC Transition call, the most popular so far in terms of numbers of submissions. A significant proportion of these projects originates from the European Innovation Council Proof of Concept projects (19). This is also the first time that actions stemming from Horizon Europe pillar 2 and Horizon 2020 Societal Challenges and Leadership in Industrial Technologies could apply for this scheme. Each of these successful proposals, selected among 390 eligible submissions, will receive a grant of up to €2.5 million upon signing a grant agreement, as funding is dependent upon this signature. The selected participants come from 21 EU Member States and Horizon Europe associated countries. 

The EIC Transition scheme has no predefined thematic restrictions, but welcomes proposals from all fields of science, technology, and application. The selected projects will have access to EIC Business Acceleration Services including coaching, mentoring, and partnering events. Projects are also eligible for the fast-track scheme to access the EIC Accelerator for supporting the commercialisation and scale up phases.

The next cut-off date for EIC Transition applications is 17 September 2025.
