Short description:
The EIT Manufacturing Accelerate Call is designed to support European start-ups and SMEs that can provide products, services, or solutions to the manufacturing sector, but the company receiving funding is not required to be a manufacturing company itself. The program focuses on driving advancements across critical areas such as digitalization, automation, net-zero industry, renewable energy, and circular economy. Through this initiative, EIT Manufacturing seeks to address key industrial challenges by offering tailored internationalization and financial support services. The Accelerate Call provides financial backing of up to €500,000 per selected company, fostering growth in emerging technologies such as industrial AI, robotics, additive manufacturing, advanced materials, and others.
Eligibility Criterias:
Selected start-ups and SMEs will receive up to €500,000 in funding, designed to support product development, market expansion, and the commercialization of innovative solutions. The funding is non-dilutive, allowing companies to retain full ownership of their business. It aims to drive the adoption of cutting-edge technologies such as industrial AI, robotics, renewable energy solutions, advanced materials, and others in real-world environments.
Eligible participants will also receive technical and business support, including access to mentoring, workshops, and internationalization services. This tailored support is aimed at helping companies refine their go-to-market strategies, improve technological solutions, and scale their operations across European and global markets.
Funds will be disbursed as follows: 80% upfront to initiate the project, and the remaining 20% upon successful completion of the project.
To qualify, companies should already have or develop during the project a business-to-business (B2B) model. Applicants must submit a detailed project proposal outlining their business model, growth plan, and expected impact on the European manufacturing sector. The company must also have at least two team members and be headquartered in an EU Member State or a Horizon Europe-associated country.
