The EIC Accelerator programme helps high-risk, innovative SMEs and start-ups willing to develop and commercialise new products, business models, and services. These developments could potentially drive economic growth and influence new markets or disrupt existing European or global markets. The EIC Accelerator programme opens funding and investment opportunities worth over €1.13 billion.
Short Applications
Applicants can apply for EIC Accelerator funding at any time using the EIC online portal. The short proposal is open on an ongoing basis throughout the year and there is no submission deadline for the short proposal.
In the first two stages of the selection process, proposals are evaluated by remote experts. Later on, the projects are assessed by the EIC jury members. The short proposal will be evaluated by four remote experts who will issue “GO” or “NO GO” votes for three measures.
Feedback is normally provided within 4 weeks, on a first-come, first-served basis. Only 2 out of the 4 remote evaluators must provide a “GO” vote for you to move to the next step (full application).

Full Applications
If your short proposal is successful, you will receive coaching support to prepare a full proposal. The bulk of this step involves the preparation of a detailed business plan. The full proposal will consist of a detailed business plan, key milestones and complete information on your company’s finances.
The application will be evaluated by three remote experts who will issue “GO” or “NO GO” votes for three measures. Detailed feedback from the experts is normally provided within 5 weeks from the cut-off date. For a successful proposal, ALL THREE experts must provide a “GO” vote. You will not receive an invitation to the interview if one or more experts provide a “NO GO” vote.
