ProgrammesThe EIC has introduced the new Scaleup Europe Fund (SEF) in its 2026 Work Programme in order to (help) address the funding gap faced by European scale-ups in later growth stages. The fund will focus on key strategic areas, including digital and intelligent systems, physical and industrial systems and life and health sciences.
The SEF will operate as a market-based, privately managed investment vehicle, primarily providing equity investments with ticket sizes starting at €100 million. It will be implemented with the support of the European Investment Bank.
In addition to financial support, selected companies will benefit from access to the broader EIC ecosystem, including Business Acceleration Services.
With the launch of the SEF, Europe takes an important step towards strengthening its competitiveness, technological leadership, and economic security.
The updated programme can be found on the EIC-site.
We offer news and event updates, covering all domains and topics of Horizon Europe, Digital Europe & EDF (and occasionally, for ongoing projects, Horizon 2020).

Funded by Horizon Europe, under call topic HORIZON-WIDERA-2021-ERA-01-80, INSPIRE is Europe's Centre of Excellence on inclusive gender equality in research and innovation. It relies on four Knowledge and Support Hubs to create knowledge in the areas of sustaining change, widening participation, intersectionality and innovation. Moreover, it supports stakeholders in their journey to become more inclusive through 12 Communities of Practice. In this way, INSPIRE aims to develop both cutting-edge knowledge and innovative strategies for gender equality in the European Research Area. INSPIRE brings together 14 partners. The Belgian partner in this project is UHasselt.
