Companies can once again submit short (Step 1) applications for European Innovation Council Accelerator funding, using a new IT platform developed for this purpose by the European Innovation Council and SMEs Executive Agency (EISMEA).
The submission of short (Step 1) applications was put on hold for a short period of time after the former EIC Artificial Intelligence Platform for applying to the EIC Accelerator was discontinued on 2 June 2023, due to a contractual dispute. As a result, the EIC has restructured the EIC Accelerator application process.
