Innovayt supports Italian SMEs secure funds through DEEPACT

Fondazione LINKS partners with Innovayt to accelerate deep tech innovations through the DEEPACT programme, providing Italian start-ups and SMEs personalised and free support in securing necessary funds. Focusing on the competitive EIC Accelerator (EICA) funding instrument, DEEPACT targets innovative start-ups and SMEs that are looking to scale-up their innovation from demonstration to market launch and break even. Sounds like you? Make sure to apply.

If selected, DEEPACT covers the costs for a consultancy, i.e., one of the DEEPACT Partners, to prepare a solid EICA application. This means that you would receive help from experts, such as Innovayt, to not only ensure a good match between your project and the EICA but also draft your written proposal and train you for the final interview stage. In turn, increasing your chances to fund and launch your innovation.

EICA, part of the Horizon Europe framework, funds innovative projects via the European Innovation Council (EIC) with the ambition to spark growth and internationalisation. This instrument is open to convert innovations in any field of technology or application into marketable and scalable products. In particular relevant for deep tech, building on scientific discoveries or technological breakthroughs where significant funding is needed over a long timeframe before returns can be generated.

Are you ready to bring your innovation to market through the DEEPACT programme?

Make sure to apply before 17:00 CET on 27 September 2024.
