Programmes Culture and society EITThe 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.

The UNCHAIN project, ‘urban logistics and planning: anticipating urban freight generation and demand including digitalisation of urban freight’ obtained funding from the Horizon Europe’s Mobility Cluster. The project focuses on breaking down data silos and promoting public-private data exchange across a unified European mobility data space, enabling more informed decisions and greater efficiency. The City of Mechelen is a partner in the project and takes on the role of ‘follower city’: it will work alongside the primary demonstration sites (in Madrid, Berlin and Florence) to maximize the geographical coverage and replicability of solutions across Europe. Mechelen aims to test 2 concrete solutions in the UNCHAIN project, with the aim to help addressing its current and future challenges in urban freight distribution.
