The EIC pilot brings together the parts of Horizon 2020 that provide funding, advice and networking opportunities for those at cutting edge of innovation. It is an initiative of the European Commission that proposes substantial funding and competitive offerings for innovators regarding access to finance, coaching, and other means of support. It consists of four support programmes including the SME Instrument, FastTrack to Innovation (FTI), Future and Emerging Technologies Open (FET-Open), and the Horizon Prizes.

Business Acceleration Services
The European Innovation Council (EIC) pilot is more than money. With our user-driven business acceleration services, we continuously lead companies to enhance their business development by opening doors to top global business partners and investors.

We announce all our events and services on the EASME website, via our newsletter and in the EIC Community (community-smei.easme-web.eu).
