BioReboot, Diagonal, Smartphotonics, Sensepredict and RYA Purification Technologies have applied to the European Innovation Council (EIC) Work Programme 2023 with HiSeedTech's support.

The EIC aims to identify and support breakthrough technologies and game-changing innovations with the potential to scale up internationally and become market leaders. It supports all stages of innovation from research and development on the scientific underpinnings of breakthrough technologies, from validation and demonstration of breakthrough technologies and innovations to meet real world needs, to the development and scaling up of start-ups and small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs).

Financial support is provided through three main funding schemes: the EIC Pathfinder for advanced research on breakthrough / game-changing technologies; EIC Transition for transforming research results into innovation opportunities; and the EIC Accelerator for individual companies to develop and scale up breakthrough innovations with high risk and high impact.

The HiSeedTech team supported BioReboot and Smartphotonics in their application to the EIC Accelerator. BioReboot already received a "GO", and now has 12 months to prepare the full proposal.

Sensepredict, also a participant in HiTech 2022, was supported in applying to an EIC Pathfinder. Diagonal and RYA Purification Technologies, both in the HiTechStartup program, received support for submissions to the EIC Pathfinder as well.

Five projects, five applications! We are now waiting for the evaluation results.
