The EIC Pathfinder Open is the successor of the programme “Future Emerging Technologies – FET" for breakthrough, high-risk/high-gain technologies and innovations, financing projects that are ambitious, visionary, aiming for a radical technological change and with a potential of a disruptive impact.
This is a bottom-up scheme, so there is no predefined thematic priority and it is open to any field of science and technology. Projects can request an EU contribution of up to EUR 3 million.
At least 3 legal entities, established in a different Member State or Associated Country and with at least 1 of them established in a Member State. The involvement of SMEs/start-ups is highly encouraged. CH will be treated as an entity established in an Associated Country.
During this official launch event, promoted by the European Commission, you will learn more about the programme, its aims and conditions, ask questions to the national experts and listen to a testimonial by an EIC Accelerator grantee.
