ENTRANCE - Webinar with European Innovation Council and SME´s Excecutive Agency on EIC Accelerator

8th of June 2022 from 12.00 to 14.00

Are you a Small and Medium Enterprise-Startup or spinout company and looking for funding for your innovation?

The ENTRANCE project is designed to mobilise financial resources and boost sustainable innovations in the transport and mobility sectors. To do so, the partnership will create an environment for promoting solutions to find buyers or investors. These solutions will gain visibility through the ENTRANCE Matchmaking Platform, that counts also with a Knowledge Hub to learn more about sectorial trends and financing insights.

In the second project´s webinar, hosted by ENTRANCE, we invite you to discover substantial financial support for sustainable transport and mobility solutions. Learn about how the EIC Accelerator provides blended finance for the Innovation Champions in Transport, Logistics & Mobility (Innovation and Market Deployment Action) which consists of:

• An investment component usually in the form of direct equity or quasi-equity such as convertible loans

• A grant component to reimburse eligible costs incurred for innovation activities, including demonstration of the technology in the relevant environment, prototyping and system level demonstration, R&D and testing required to meet regulatory and standardisation requirements, intellectual property management, and marketing approval (e.g. at least TRL 5/6 to 8).

and is explained by experts like Elitsa Bayska from EISMEA and Ignacio Hernández from ITAINNOVA (Instituto Tecnológico de Aragón) who will be the main speakers and explain how funding and investments through the EIC Fund helps to develop and scale up game changing innovations.
