Ready4EIC: New training programme for innovative SMEs in EU enlargement countries
Ready4EIC is aimed at companies developing an innovative product, service, technology, process or business model that are seeking funding, preparing for investor engagement, or exploring European funding opportunities, including Horizon Europe and the European Innovation Council (EIC).
What does Ready4EIC offer?
Participating companies will work with dedicated Innovation Advisors at local innovation hubs to assess their needs, identify areas for improvement, and define practical next steps for their business.
The programme combines practical training sessions, tailored one-to-one consultations with innovation hubs and the Ready4EIC team, tools and guidance that can be applied directly within the company, and opportunities to engage with investors and innovation ecosystem organisations.
How is the training structured?
Ready4EIC is delivered in two rounds, offering up to four months of structured capacity-building support.
Round 1 will run for approximately two months and will provide participants with the core knowledge and tools needed to strengthen their innovation and growth plans.
Round 2 will be offered to selected participants and will run for two months, providing more advanced support for scaling, investment readiness and access to deep-tech funding.
