Biotechnology driven low emission food production systems
Funds a single company building biotechnology-driven, low-emission food production, with an EU contribution of up to EUR 17.5 million under the EIC Accelerator's 2025 round.
This specific call is the full-application stage of the EIC Accelerator process — the Portal's own evaluation form list separately names a stage 1 short proposal form and a stage 2 full proposal form, and this topic sits at the second stage. Within the same EUR 634 million call, how many grants are expected varies a lot by topic: this challenge is budgeted for about 15 grants, while the OPEN topic…
This is one named challenge area, "Biotechnology driven low emission food production systems", inside the EIC Accelerator 2025 - Full application call, sitting alongside several other challenge topics (CHALLENGES-01, CHALLENGES-03 through CHALLENGES-05, and OPEN-01) and an open topic under the same call. The Funding & Tenders Portal topic entry carries no further scope text beyond the challenge title itself — the technical detail on what qualifies lives in the EIC Work Programme document.
