The European Innovation Council (EIC) will support European deep tech research and high-potential start-ups with €1.4 billion next year. The EIC Work Programme 2025, which the Commission adopted today, represents an increase of nearly €200 million in comparison with 2024.
In addition to a bigger budget, the 2025 work programme brings several improvements. A major addition is better access to scale-up equity funding with the EIC Strategic Technologies for Europe Platform (STEP) scale-up scheme, introduced following the STEP regulation adopted earlier this year. Several improvements compared to previous work programmes are also included, based on recommendations of the EIC Board.
