ProgrammesThe European Institute of innovation and Technology (EIT) tries to bridge the achievements of our researchers and succesful start-ups and/or fast-growing companies. They consist of nine sectoral subdivisions who each publish calls to look for the most promising projects in which they can invest in.
One of these calls, the EIT Manufacturing Accelerate is a permanently open Call with the objective to support, scale and accelerate industry startups into impactful players in the European manufacturing ecosystem. It was started in early 2024 and now reaches the end of its life cycle. The final cut-off date is on the 21st of April so this is the final chance (for now) for those companies from the manufacturing sector that are looking for additional investment to to accelerate the expansion of their business.
The Accelerate programme is open to startups with solutions at Technology Readiness Level (TRL) 6 or higher, that are currently fundraising or preferably already in an ongoing funding round with the following characteristics:
This Call is open to private businesses (legal entities) with at least 2 team members and with headquarters in any Member State of the European Union, and in any country associated with Horizon Europe programme.
The total maximum EIT funding allocated to this call is 8.800,000 EUR. The available financial support (also known as “sub-grant”) is starting from 50,000 EUR and can be up to 500,000 EUR per company to pursue activities which are in line with the overall EIT Manufacturing Strategic Objectives and based on the project plan, budget, and the investment terms.

The Miricle project, ‘Mine Risk Clearance for Europe’, obtained funding under the European Defence Industrial Development programme call ‘Underwater control contributing to resilience at sea’. The main objective of the project was to achieve a European and sovereign capacity in future mine warfare and create a path for the next generation ‘made in Europe’ countermeasure solutions. In order to realise this objective, Miricle addressed various stages: studies, design, prototyping and testing. These stages inter alia included the successful testing of an XL Unmanned Underwater Vehicle, a protototyped mine disposal system and multiple innovative systems to detect buried mines. Flanders Marine Institute (VLIZ), was one of the five Belgian partners in the consortium. Within the project, VLIZ was able to forward its research on the acoustic imaging of the seabed to spatially map and visualize buried structures and objects - in this case buried mines - in the highest possible detail. VLIZ also led the work on ‘Port and Offshore Testing’, building on the expertise of the institute in the field of marine operations and technology.
