EIC selects 40 new Transition projects
The European Innovation Council (EIC) has selected 40 projects following the 2025 EIC Transition call. The successful proposals were selected among 611 submissions. 130 of those submissions originate from the European Research Council Proof of Concept projects. The selected participants come from 17 EU Member States and Horizon Europe Associated Countries.
In addition, for the first time, 228 Seals of Excellence have been attributed to the proposals that were excellent but could not receive funding due to lack of budget.
Each selected project will receive a grant of up to €2.5 million. The selected projects will have access to EIC Business Acceleration Services, including coaching, mentoring, and partnering events. Projects are also eligible for the fast-track scheme to access the EIC Accelerator for supporting the commercialisation and scale up phases.
