First group of 48 companies joins EIC Scaling Club
Iliana Ivanova, Commissioner for Innovation, Research, Culture, Education and Youth, announced the first cohort of 48 companies that joined the EIC Scaling Club at the EIC Summit on 19 March 2024. The EIC Scaling Club is an exclusive community of more than 100 European high-growth deep tech champions and their partners. The Club engages companies in a pan-European network of scalers to share their peer experience and obtain exposure at the European level. It provides the participating companies with tailored mentoring and access to quality business partners such as corporates and investors.
Half of the selected companies is coming from the EIC portfolio, the other half from the rest of the European innovation ecosystem. Almost half of them is led by women. They are pioneers tackling big societal needs and addressing four new markets opportunities in deep technologies: digital security, next generation computing, mobility and transport, and renewable energy.
They will be surrounded by more than 400 other scale-up focused stakeholders to nurture connections and partnerships with lead investors, seasoned board members, advisors, corporates, relevant agencies, networks, and other strategic partners.
The selected companies are now entering a 2-year acceleration programme including mentoring, branding as well as investment and partners roadshow events. The activities of this first cohort will be launched with a high-level gathering on 9 and 10 April 2024 in Brussels. The Club will be reinforced after the launch of the 2nd cohort of companies, in autumn 2024.
