This info session particularly focused on the EIC Accelerator Scheme, which supported start-ups and SMEs to develop and scale up deep-tech and disruptive innovative products or services at the advanced technological level (TRL 6-9).

Its objective was to provide companies-applicants to the EIC Accelerator with practical information on the programme goals, support, and specifically, on how the EIC investment fund worked.
