The European Innovation Council (EIC) plans to invest €1.4B in European deeptech and high-potential startups in 2025.
The EIC Work Programme 2025 includes enhanced access to scale-up funding through the Strategic Technologies for Europe Platform (STEP) scale-up scheme.
The STEP Scale-up scheme will provide €300M in funding, targeting strategic tech development and reducing EU dependencies.
The EIC Work Programme 2025 features three primary funding schemes: EIC Pathfinder, EIC Transition, and EIC Accelerator.
