Scaling up with European Innovation Council: Investing in the future of Sustainability and Tech

The European Innovation Council (EIC) is organizing in collaboration with Bpifrance a hybrid conference under the high patronage of the French Presidency of the European Union. The event will highlight the best sustainability startups selected out of 3000+ companies in the framework of two European Innovation Council projects: EIC ScalingUp and EIC Ecosystem Partnerships and Co-investment support. Looking into the future, the event will provide a detailed insight into the EIC Scale Up 100 initiate, a call for which is open until the autumn.  

Over 200 ecosystem actors have already registered to attend the event in Paris, for a day of networking, high-level panels, and pitches by the startups. You can still book your seat to participate in the onsite event in Paris. For those who were not able to get tickets to the in person event, the morning part will be webstreamed on this page.

With the contribution of high-level and inspiring speakers such Jean-David Malo, Director of EISMEA, Nicolas Duforcq (General Director of Bpifrance) and Kat Borlongan (EIC Board Member and Chief Impact Officer, Contentsquare), the event will focus on three main elements:

• policy discussions on European unicorns
• presentation of the EIC Scale Up 100 call
• pitching sessions of selected EIC companies.

The event will also offer the opportunity to gain valuable insight on European scale ups and get a unique possibility of networking with tech companies. If you are an investor, your chance is here to invest in the future of sustainability and tech. The EIC is looking for qualified investors within the Sustainability/Tech areas. Venture Capitalists, Angel Investors and others are encouraged to apply and hear from the growing companies already hand-picked by the EIC.
