Get up to € 4 million in Grants

The EIC Pathfinder programme goes beyond what is already known. Visionary thinking and research can lead towards powerful new technologies... Projects are typically visionary scientists and entrepreneurial researchers from universities, research organisations, start-ups, high-tech SMEs or industrial stakeholders interested in technological research and innovation. Research teams can apply for up to €3 or €4 million in grants.

Nordic Innovators is experienced in working with all these different types of clients and we help them to scope and develop their project ideas. We collaborate closely defining and matching their innovation projects to the right programme. We also help finding the right consortia match. 

About EIC Pathfinder

It provides support for the earliest stages of scientific, technological or deep-tech research and development. EIC Pathfinder supports early-stage development of future technologies like activities at low Technology Readiness Levels 1-4 and up to proof of concept. Pathfinder projects can also receive additional funding for testing the innovation potential of their research outputs.
