29/02/2024 (Agence Europe) – On Wednesday 28 February, the European Innovation Council (EIC) announced the names of the 42 winning companies in the final cut-off date of 2023 for the EIC Accelerator, which took place last November. The 42 companies, selected from 242 interviewed by the juries, will share up to €285 million in funding. Most of the companies selected will receive mixed funding from the EIC, i.e. a combination of grants and equity investments. The EIC stresses that the equity investments will be made through the Accelerator Investment Fund, or EIC Fund, which should make it possible to mobilise additional private investment. 193 other applications, for which insufficient funding was available, will be awarded a European “Seal of Excellence”.
