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.
