This service provides EIC beneficiaries with a structured, neutral evaluation of how their deep-tech innovations align with market needs, demand signals, and competitive landscapes.
It supports early-stage founders and researchers in mapping technology capabilities against viable applications, helping teams understand where a validated prototype or early solution can create the most value in real‑world contexts.
The service is ideally suited for MVP projects in which the core technology is developed but the most promising use cases, market segments, and target geographies remain to be validated and prioritised. Typical beneficiaries include early‑stage founders, spin‑offs, and deep‑tech SMEs seeking evidence‑based insights to focus their resources on the most viable growth opportunities.
The final output is a structured market research report evaluating MVP against real-world demand, competitive landscapes, and viable use case, positioning deep-tech innovations for a focused commercialization.
Basic service (€15.000): Desk research, KOLs interviews, and market assessment for one country.
Standard service (€20.000): Adds basic competitive benchmarking.
Premium service (€30.000): Includes co-creation workshops and pricing sensitivity analysis.
Fees and payment terms are defined contractually before project initiation.
This service is designed to provide informational support to EIC beneficiaries and does not constitute legal, financial, technical, or investment advice. The analyses, market data, and opportunity rankings included in the Technology‑Market Fit Assessment are based on sources and assumptions considered reliable at the time of preparation, but no representation or warranty, express or implied, is given as to their completeness, accuracy, or future validity. The service does not replace independent due diligence, clinical, regulatory, or engineering assessments that may be required for decision‑making in biotech, medtech, or other health-related fields. Any decisions regarding commercialisation, investment, market entry, or partnership development remain the sole responsibility of the beneficiary, who should seek appropriate professional advice where necessary. The provider accepts no liability for direct or indirect losses, costs, or damages arising from the use of the information or interpretations derived from this assessment.
