The EIC awards 160 Seals of Excellence to help innovative companies find funding
The EIC awarded Seals of Excellence to 160 companies that submitted their applications for the EIC Accelerator March 2022 cut-off.
These companies’ proposals were judged by independent experts to meet all the EIC’s highly quality standards and deserve funding, but did not get it only due to budget limits.
Seal of Excellence, the now well-known quality label, recognises the value of the proposal. It supports recipients of the Seal of Excellence in their pursuit of funding from alternative sources and helps other funding bodies take advantage of the respected Horizon Europe evaluation process for their own funding decisions. Under Horizon Europe, the EIC awarded 302 Seals of Excellence.
