ProgrammesThe European institute of Innovation and Technology (EIT) tries to build the bridge from promising innovations to succesful businesses. It counts about 10 knowledge and innovation communities (KIC) that focus on a specific sector. The EIT Culture and Creativity is one of the more recently established newer KIC's.
To help businesses cross this bridge it has launched a call for applications for two tailored business support programmes designed to accelerate the growth of promising start-ups and scale-ups in Europe’s cultural and creative sectors and industries (CCSI). The focus is on five key sectors: fashion, architecture, cultural heritage, audio-visual media, and gaming.
You can apply if you are a start-up or scale-up operating in one or more CCSI sectors, legally established in an EU Member State or a Horizon Europe-associated country. Applicants must meet the SME criteria, have at least two years of operations, and a product or service on the market.
The application deadline for cohort 1 has passed but you can still apply for cohort 2 untill the 11th of July 2025. You can find all the application details here.
We offer news and event updates, covering all domains and topics of Horizon Europe, Digital Europe & EDF (and occasionally, for ongoing projects, Horizon 2020).
Stay informed about what matters to you.

Autoship is, as the name suggests, an acronym for autonomous ship. Just like with self-driving cars, the possibilities of an unmanned boat seem endless. It can create more efficient freight transport, around the clock deliveries and these are just a few of the examples. The project has two societal challenges.
At first, De Vlaamse Waterweg was a bit hesitant as their experience with FP7 or Horizon 2020 projects was limited and they had not been very successful up until then. The fact that they were already doing basic research on the topic of autonomous boats, and the administrative help of NCP FLanders helped De Vlaamse waterweg to cross the line and get involved.
