On 17 September 2024 the European Innovation Council (EIC), in collaboration with APRE and CDP Venture Capital, organised an Info Day in Rome.

Special focus was placed on the EIC Accelerator programme, which supports start-ups and SMEs to develop and scale up deep-tech and disruptive innovative products or services at the advanced technological level (TRL 6-9).

Speakers gave useful some insight about the application process. They also shared tips for preparing an excellent application.

In addition, our experts presented the national support mechanisms for deep-tech in Italy and the services provided by NCP and EEN Network.
