The European Commission is introducing the EIC Community. Companies funded by the SME Instrument and FET Open now have the opportunity to join this online community, build new connections, share ideas, and meet potential partners and investors in a new dedicated digital space.

The new EIC Community platform aims to become a hub where investors and companies can interact with one another based on their profiles, interests, and business objectives. Access to all Business Acceleration services, including event registration, will also be provided.

The platform will also allow users to list business objectives on their profiles and participate in the ScaleUp EU tool – an automated matching service based on company and investor profiles. Another notable feature offered by the EIC Community moderators is a comprehensive list of organised events, providing access to relevant opportunities for all European Innovation Council project beneficiaries.

Access to the platform will be by direct invitation from the EIC.
