Programmes EIC

The European Innovation Council (EIC) selected 71 cutting edge companies for funding, combining grants and equity, following the last 2024 EIC Accelerator cut-off in October. They have been selected among 1211 submitted proposals, out of which 431 have been invited to the jury interviews.

21% of the selected companies are led by women (as CEO, CSO or CTO), while there is a geographical spread spanning 16 countries. 

Four of the selected companies have benefitted from the ‘Plug In’ scheme. The scheme allows funding bodies managing certified national/regional programmes to submit projects from their portfolio directly to the full application stage of the EIC Accelerator. 

A further 330 applications that were assessed positively by the EIC jury, but for which there was insufficient funding available, will be awarded a Seal of Excellence. This recognition helps these companies to find alternative funding sources, including from the Recovery and Resilience Funds and European Regional Development Funds.

3 Belgian organisations will receive blended financing.

EURHISFIRM - Long-term data for Europe

EURHISFIRM designs a world-class research infrastructure (RI) to connect, collect, collate, align, and share detailed, reliable, and standardized long-term financial, governance, and geographical data on European companies. EURHISFIRM enables researchers, policymakers, and other stakeholders to develop and evaluate effective strategies to promote investment, economic growth and job creation. The RI provides the tools for long-term analysis highlighting the dynamics of the past and the way those dynamics structure our present and future.

The EURHISFIRM European project received € 3.4 million in financing from the European Commission through the H2020-INFRADEV-2017-1 research infrastructures call. The project started with a consortium of eleven research organisations (including University of Antwerp) from seven European countries.
