EIC

From April 20-22 2026, EIC-funded companies can participate in training sessions designed to develop the knowledge and practical skills needed to engage in public and private procurement opportunities in Europe and beyond, wit the objective of helping them scale up their business.

Yearly over 250 000 EU public authorities spend around 14% of GDP (around €2 trillion ) procuring services, works and supplies. An increasing share of this is dedicated to procuring innovation. Innovation Procurement allows suppliers of innovative solution to engage in early discussions with potential buyers, helping new and disruptive innovations find their way into tenders.

Are you interested in learning how to leverage public and private innovation procurement to scale your business?

Within the context of the EIC Innovation Procurement Programme powered by SPIN4EIC, EIC Awardees are invited to take part in the next , fully online, edition of the EIC Innovation Procurement Academy, taking place from 20 to 22 April 2026.

  • The Academy will introduce the key  aspects of innovation procurement in both public and private sectors, in Europe and beyond.
  • One full day will also focus on opportunities in Asian markets.
  • Participants can expect interactive training sessions, practical exercises and networking opportunities.

Testimonial

Luciad - Geospatial software for mission-critical operations

Founded in 1999, Luciad serves clients in Europe, Asia and the Americas. Though it recently was acquired by Hexagon Geospatial, they kept an agile SME mindset. Thousands of end users work directly with Luciad’s geospatial applications, and major systems integrators (think Airbus Defense and Space, Lufthansa Systems, NATO, Thales…) incorporate its software in their own products.

NCP Flanders went to Leuven to interview Frederic Houbie, the Research Projects Manager at Luciad, about how he sees Horizon 2020. Luciad is a partner in the MARISA project, which is a collaborative RIA project submitted to an ICT call topic
