This Fast Track itself pays nothing directly: candidates submit a short application and pitch deck, the highest scorers pitch to a 3-person EIC expert panel, and up to 11 companies per call receive a GO decision that lets them move straight to a full EIC Accelerator proposal — the EIC Accelerator itself allocated €634 million in 2026 and combines grant and investment funding.

Each grant below is a distinct funding opportunity with its own eligibility, scope, and deliverables.
