Service description

This matchmaking service aims to reduce cost and investment risks as well as to accelerate the time to market for innovative companies. The service will be provided by in-house experts that during the three sessions will work in understanding the needs and challenges that EIC beneficiaries find in their route to market (upscaling, testing, access to supply chain, stakeholders and end-users…) to connect them with relevant EU Research Infrastructures (e.g., OITB´s , PILOTS and other actions) and Innovation Ecosystem stakeholders (key industrial players, standardisation and regulatory bodies, sectorial associations and others). At the end of the programmed sessions, EIC beneficiaries will obtain an overview of the facilities and infrastructures, as well as, services and stakeholders that may provide key contributions to succeed in their route to market. In addition, the in-house experts will arrange the contacts with the different entities and stakeholders and will support the EIC beneficiaries to reach agreements with these entities and stake-holders.
