The EU as a deep tech investor for emerging companies

Organised by: Vinnova
Strawberry Arena Stockholm, Loge:19 Fri 21 Feb 2025 at 09:00-10:30

Are you striving to develop a high-risk and high-gain groundbreaking innovation towards commercialization? Horizon Europe is the EU’s key funding programme for research and innovation. The programme offers a wide range of opportunities for small- and medium sized enterprises and start-ups. In this side event you will learn about the European Innovation Council (EIC), Europe’s flagship innovation programme to identify, develop and scale up breakthrough technologies and game changing innovations. It is a programme designed to act as a deep tech investor, to leverage private co-investment and to pull through high-risk technologies in critical areas for our society. The grants can be up to 2.5 million to 4 million euro depending on program, and the investment component up to 10 million or 30 million euro.

You will also learn of the national support available in the application process, such as EU SME Support and Vinnova’s planning grants.
