Opis
The Innovation Projects call supports high-impact, close-to-market innovations at TRL 7, enabling their progression towards TRL 9 and full market deployment in the Architecture, Audio-Visual Media and Fashion sectors. Projects should demonstrate a credible commercialisation pathway and contribute to EIT Culture & Creativity objectives and KPIs, including market deployment and intellectual property generation.
Selected Stage 1 applicants receive a EUR 20,000 fixed lump sum during a six-week preparatory phase to develop a Business Development Plan covering areas such as market validation, IP and regulatory mapping and commercialisation strategy. Following Stage 2 evaluation, up to 11 projects may receive up to EUR 900,000 each for an 18-month implementation phase focused on technical development to TRL 9, validation and pilot deployment, market entry, commercialisation, investment readiness and scaling. EIT Culture & Creativity financial support may cover up to 70% of the eligible project costs used to establish the project-based lump sum.
Applicants may submit questions through the EIT Culture & Creativity Contact Form. Questions received during the submission period may be anonymised and published on the call webpage to ensure equal access to information.
An online information session will take place on 7 October 2026, 10:00–12:00 CEST, covering the call scope, topics, requirements, submission process and evaluation procedure. Registration is required and the session will be recorded and subsequently published on the EIT Culture & Creativity website. Applicants are encouraged to consult the call webpage regularly for updates.
