As part of the EIC Tech to Market Programme (EIC T2M), the European Innovation Council (EIC) is organising a virtual Bootcamp which will place from 8 to 10 January 2024, with one last pitching day on the 5th February 2024. It will consist in collective workshops and one-on-one sessions with coaches.
The availability is limited, so make sure to register now! The application for this initiative is open only to EIC Pathfinder, EIC Transition, Women TechEU beneficiaries and EIC Seal of Excellence holders. Projects from all domains and sectors are welcome to apply!
Agenda
The 4 days are split into two parts:
- 3 consecutive days of deep-dive workshops on selected topics to get feedback from experts (Mission Statement, Value proposition, Customer Discovery, Product/Market Fit, Intro to finance & Licence negotiation, Team presentation and Roadmap);
- 1 day –one month later- of pitch workshop.
Office hours with experts after the first 3 days and before the last one (3 weeks) will also be organised to dig all around the major entrepreneurial topics and get pitches ready to be challenged.
Who can apply?
The EIC T2M Bootcamp for innovative researchers is open to motivated teams of researchers and to individual researchers. For teams, complementary profiles are considered to form eligible and successful teams and provide high-quality engagement. The profile of participants can be:

Selection criteria
The availability is limited, and a selection committee will choose the best applications based on the following criteria:
