On 22 March 2023, the European Innovation Council (EIC) organized an Info Day in Belgrade.
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.
The moderator of the event was Iva Vuksanović, Senior Advisor at the Center for Programs of Support to the Economy and MSMEs at the CCIS.
