Where does the programme start?
Often national subsidies support companies during the development of a prototype or demonstrator (up to TRL 5-6). The financial burden during the optimisation of the prototype/demonstrator and the commercialisation & market launch must be borne by the company alone. And this is exactly where the EIC Accelerator/SME instrument comes in: it has a special focus on companies whose next steps are aimed at further development and introduction of prototypes into the European market. Target group are companies with innovations at a TRL of 5-6.
Why is the programme so unique?
