Welcome to the EIC Service Catalogue!

EIC Service Catalogue is the webpage that centralises and displays the service offers of all selected EIC Partners. The EIC Service Catalogue is searchable by different filters (project stage – pathfinder, transition, accelerator, service category, partners’ country of origin, Technology Readiness Level, etc.). Each service offer is described in terms of activities, deadlines and financial requirements. The EIC Service Catalogue is the single-entry point for EIC beneficiaries to explore the available offer of services from EIC Partners and to apply for these services as well. The EIC Service Catalogue is targeted only towards EIC beneficiaries and Seal of Excellence holders.

Click here to watch a short introductory video about the EIC Service Catalogue.

In order to apply, you must be an EIC beneficiary under one of the following instruments or the following titles: 

• EIC Pathfinder 
• EIC Transition 
• EIC Accelerator 

You can also use the three designations of the funding instruments (EIC Pathfinder, Transition and Accelerator) to help you find a service that addresses your needs. If you select EIC Pathfinder, EIC Transition or EIC Accelerator as a filter, you will only see services targeted at the Technology Readiness Levels (TRLs) and stages of development your chosen funding instrument covers. 

Seal of Excellence holders are also eligible for services and may filter the offers according to the funding instrument to which they previously applied. 

Applicants should note all applications will undergo eligibility check done by the EIC Project Officers assigned to the respective applicants. All applicants will receive feedback on the status of their eligibility from the EIC Project Officers. Applicants who successfully pass the eligibility check will receive feedback on the status of their application from the respective EIC Partners via the EIC Service Catalogue email notification.

The EIC Partners offer a wide range of services, which are divided according to the following categories:

• Acceleration, Incubation and Venture Building – Business programmes that support early-stage and growth-driven innovators through mentoring, financing, planning or product development services.  
• Support Fundraising – Fundraising services encompass investor-readiness support, preparation for investor introductions, access to networks of investors and access to investment programmes.  
• Matchmaking – Services designed to help innovators connect with relevant European players and engage with business networks that are able to provide technical, financial or strategic support. 
• Business Planning – Services designed to help innovators with strategic issues (business modelling, product-market fit, market research) and business development (sales, go-to-market strategy, partnerships).  
• Coaching & Mentoring – Training to support the reskilling and upskilling of founders and their team on very specific subjects.  
• Access to Infrastructure and R&D Support – Scientific, technical support for product development or product validation. Specialised services related to the use of laboratories, coworking spaces and cutting-edge technological tools.  
• IP & Legal – Services designed to help innovators with Intellectual Property assets (trademarks, patents, copyrights) and legal/regulatory affairs (product certification, quality standards, safety regulations).  
• Due Diligence – Business appraisal services that estimate the company’s value, assets, and commercial potential. Due diligence services may have different focus (e.g., financial, legal, environmental, technological) depending on the goals of each innovator.  
• Prototyping and PoC – Tools and methods that allow experimentation and early iteration of solutions with final users. The goal is to understand if the innovation is (technically) feasible, desired (by final users) and (economically) viable.  
• HR Talent – Talent prospecting and acquisition support services.
• Internationalisation – Support for market entry and expansion beyond the current borders of the innovator’s geographic location.

The list above is not exhaustive. More categories of services will be included during the Programme when more EIC Partner services are added.

The EIC Partners are relevant stakeholders from the European innovation ecosystem who provide a set of their services, resources, and expertise to EIC innovators.   

They can be public or private entities, including venture builders, accelerators, incubators, technology parks and research and technology organisations, among others. These partnerships are established through the EIC Ecosystem Partnerships and Co-Investment Support programme. 

EIC beneficiaries can contact EIC Partners through the “Questions” button on the service description pages. A submission form will dropdown where the inquirers can pose a question that will be sent to the EIC Partner offering the particular service. Inquirers should receive a response from the EIC Partners within 3 working days. If inquirers do not receive a response, the Programme helpdesk can be contacted via eicpartnerships-helpdesk@eic-bas.eu. 

The EIC Ecosystem Partnerships and Co-Investment Support programme was launched in 2022 with the aim of expanding the EIC Business Acceleration Services by addressing two of the greatest challenges for its innovators: access to specialised sector-focused services and attracting private investors.  

The EIC Partners address the first need by providing:  

• Standalone services such as workshops, training and matchmaking on topics that are not covered by BAS.  
• Highly specific, niche services, such as access to research infrastructure, technological due-diligence or IP guidance.  
• Integration into EIC Partner’s accelerations, incubation, or venture building programmes, according to the technology stage and specificities of the innovators’ project.  

On the co-investment front, beneficiaries are supported and trained to make the most of their interactions with investors and matched with the most relevant ones, both through events and direct introductions. 

For more information, please visit the webpage for the EIC Ecosystem Partnerships and Co-Investment Support programme. 

The Programme runs from December 2021 to December 2025.

For the services that cannot be offered free of charge or with equity deals (directly negotiated with EIC beneficiaries), the payment will be made by the EIC beneficiaries from their own resources (e.g., project grants). In the near future (Q1 2024),  EIC will offer up to 50% financial support in the form of cascade funding for eligible EIC beneficiaries to be offered through the Financial Support to access services from Ecosystem Partners initiative (HORIZON-EIC-2023-PARTNERS-01). Please note the Programme does not have decision-making power in the rolling out of the cascade funding or application to the EIC Partner services. The decision is made solely by the parties responsible for the HORIZON-EIC-2023-PARTNERS-01 initiative, the Contracting Authority (EIC) and EIC beneficiaries. EIC beneficiary and Seal of Excellence applicants are advised to read the Terms of Engagement for EIC beneficiaries prior to applying. More details about EIC funding opportunities will be elaborated on this page of the EIC Service Catalogue in due time.
