EIC support to deep-tech entrepreneurial talents in Europe

12/05/2022

EIC published a new report recommending creation of two ambitious deep-tech training programmes to foster technological solutions and realise human entrepreneurial talent:

  • EIC Trailblazer - providing mentoring and training to PhD candidates and postdocs that are part of projects funded by the EIC Pathfinder and EIC Transition on transitioning the invention to the market
  • EIC Pioneer - adding a deep-tech module to national and regional programmes in order to ignite the ambition to become a deep tech entrepreneur and possibly, an applicant for EIC funding

The two models should be complementary. Find more details in Backing visionary entrepreneurs: Realising the Deep-Tech Entrepreneurial Talent of Europe report here.
