Financing groundbreaking ideas in today's fast-evolving market can be challenging, especially for projects involving high-risk, high-reward innovations. At NETO Innovation, we specialize in helping innovators navigate this landscape through complete support within the European Innovation Council (EIC) Accelerator framework. With over 15 years' experience in Research, Development, and Innovation and an innovative approach to client success, NETO Innovation stands out as a leader in EIC Accelerator submissions, tailored guidance, and ethical project management.
Why EIC Accelerator?
The EIC Accelerator program offers one of the most attractive funding opportunities for innovators. It is specifically designed for projects that are high-risk but have groundbreaking impact across multiple sectors. The EIC Accelerator program provides grants up to €2.5 million for innovation activities aiming to advance technologies from TRL 5 or 6 to higher levels. In addition, it offers investment components ranging from €0.5 million to €15 million to help companies scale up. This depends on the funding scheme sought by the applicant.
EIC Accelerator aims to support ambitious projects that bring novel ideas to life, from idea conceptualization to commercialization. The criteria are rigorous, making successful applications particularly rewarding but highly competitive. NETO Innovation has refined its approach to ensure every project we take on has the best chance of success.
Our pay-on-milestone model: Taking EIC funding to the next level
One of the most groundbreaking services we offer at NETO Innovation is our new pay-on-milestone achievement model, which is especially tailored to the EIC Accelerator program. This service offers unparalleled flexibility and client security, enabling companies to access the highest quality consulting and proposal-writing services without upfront costs.
Traditionally, funding support and consultancy services require heavy investment before the project outcome is known. However, we’ve shifted the risk to ourselves, allowing clients to only pay when key milestones are achieved. This means that companies we support will pay only when their project progresses through significant stages. These stages include proposal shortlisting (short proposal), full proposal approval, and pitch validation. Our updated model demonstrates our confidence in our expertise and quality. It ensures that our success is intrinsically tied to our clients' achievements.
The journey: From concept to funding success
Navigating the various stages of the EIC Accelerator can be challenging, but with our full support, your project is in safe hands. Our services cover the entire application lifecycle, including:
Short proposal development: We help you shape your innovative ideas into a compelling, high-impact short proposal that gets noticed.
Full proposal writing: Once shortlisted, our team explores further, crafting a full proposal that covers technical details, business strategy, and potential market impact, ensuring your innovation meets EIC’s stringent requirements.
Pitch preparation: Should your project progress to the final stages, we provide expert coaching and preparation for the pitch phase. This ensures your project is presented in the most positive possible light to EIC evaluators.
This end-to-end support ensures your project is meticulously planned and executed at every phase, increasing success.
15+ years of expertise in multiple sectors
NETO Innovation’s strength lies in our ability to write successful proposals and vast expertise across various sectors. Our team possesses over 15 years' experience in industries such as advanced materials, healthcare, energy, and flexible hybrid electronics.
