How to join
Four steps from EIC award to a service booked with a partner. Everything runs through your EIC Community Platform account.
-
01
Check your status
Services are open to EIC beneficiaries and recognised entities — Pathfinder, Transition, Accelerator and STEP Scale Up awardees, Seal of Excellence and STEP Seal holders, Women TechEU awardees, and Scaling Club members.
-
02
Create your EIC Community Platform profile
The platform account is what links you to the catalogue. It carries your company details, EIC stage and sector, and it is how partners confirm your entitlement.
-
03
Find a service
Filter the catalogue by category, EIC stage or cost. Free-of-charge services are marked, and every paid service shows the full amount alongside your share after 50% ACCESS+ co-funding.
-
04
Apply to the partner
Submit the short application on the service page. The partner delivering it contacts you directly to confirm scope, timing and next steps — usually within five working days.
Most services are co-funded at 50% under EIC ACCESS+, and some are free of charge. Services in the Business Support Tools category are not covered. Every service page shows the full amount and your share.
