Opportunities in the European Innovation Council (EIC) Transition Scheme

Have you identified EIC Pathfinder, FET (Future and Emerging Technologies) or European Research Council (ERC) Proof of Concept project results that could be the basis for ground-breaking innovations and new businesses?

• Is this novel technology ready for the next steps towards its maturation and validation in some specific applications?
• Have you performed early exploration of potential markets for your innovation as well as potential competitors?
• Do you envisage building a motivated and diverse team to develop the idea towards commercialisation?

If the answer to each one of these questions is ‘yes’, then EIC Transition may be the right call for you.
