ProgrammesEIT Food (European Institute of Innovation and Technology) has opened the Seedbed Venture Catalyst Call for Startups for teams created by Venture Builders in the programme. The call aims to help founders overcome specific hurdles in their venture-building journey through targeted financial support. Applications are open to eligible teams in EU countries across all EIT Food regions until 27 January 2027.
The call is designed for startup teams created by Venture Builders in the Seedbed Venture Catalyst programme. It is designed to offer funding for founders who have reached a stage where external financial support is needed to address blockages that are slowing progress.
According to the call text, eligible uses of the funding may include producing a test batch of a novel ingredient, negotiating contracts, securing intellectual property, hiring or paying a co-founder so they can remain in the programme, or buying equipment for a test lab facility.
Please note, only projects coming from the seven Venture Catalyst partners, are eligible: Carbon13, Enviu, FOOD FOUNDERS, Fresh Ventures, Ivoro, Kost Studio and Zinc. Source documents are available here.
Eligible start-up teams should review the call guidelines, prepare their budget using the template provided, and check the draft lump sum agreement before applying, with the deadline set for 27 January 2027.

Funded under Horizon Europe (HORIZON-HLTH-2024-CARE-14-01), running from 2025 to 2029, the THERESA PCP aims to launch a pre-commercial procurement process (PCP) based on the development of an environmentally sustainable on-site system to decontaminate hospital wastewater. Ziekenhuis aan de Stroom (ZAS) plays an important role in the project by contributing real-world insights from a large and diverse hospital network. Read more about the project in this testimonial.
