Each one links to its EU funding record and the partners it works with: a starting list for building a consortium.
Scope:EIC Transition funds innovation activities that go beyond the experimental proof of principle in laboratory. It supports both the maturation and validation of your novel technology from the lab to the relevant application environments (by making use of prototyping, formulation, models, user testing or other validation tests) as well as explorations and development of a sustainable business case and business model towards commercialisation.
Your proposed activities must include further technology development on the results achieved in a previous project and follow user-centric methodologies to increase chances of the innovation’s future success in the market. EIC Transition projects should address, in a balanced way, both technology and market/business development, possibly including iterative learning processes based on early customer or user feedback. These activities should include, subject to the level of maturity of the technology, a suitable mix of technology development and validation activities to increase the maturity of the technology beyond proof of concept to viable demonstrators of the technology in the intended field of application (i.e., from TRL 4 up to Technology Readiness Level 5 to 6). The activities must in all cases address market readiness towards commercialisation and deployment (market research, value proposition, business case and business model, prospects for growth, intellectual property protection, competitor analysis etc.) and aspects of regulation, certification and standardisation (if relevant), aimed at getting both the technology and the business idea investment ready.
More information can be found in the EIC WP 2025.
1. Admissibility Conditions: Proposal page limit and layout
Your proposal must build on results (at least experimental proof of concept TRL 3, ideally technology validated in the lab TRL 4) already achieved within an eligible project. You can apply for EIC Transition either as:
- A single legal entity established in a Member State or an Associated Country (‘mono-beneficiary’)
- A small consortium of two independent legal entities from two different Member States or Associated Countries or
- A consortium of minimum three and maximum five independent legal entities (‘multi-beneficiary’) following standard rules i.e. must include at least one legal entity established in a Member State and at least two other independent legal entities, each established in different Member States or Associated Countries.
The legal entities may for example be a start-up, an SME or research performing organisation (university, research or technology organisation, including teams, individual Principal Investigators and inventors in such institutions who intend to form a spinout company).
The standard admissibility and eligibility conditions as well as the eligibility of applicants from third countries are detailed in Annex 2 of the EIC Work Programme 2025.
Proposal page limits and layout:
Described in Part B of the Application Form available in the Submission System.
Sections 1 to 3 and the cover page (that includes the information about the related project on which the current EIC Transition proposal is built on) of the part B of your proposal, corresponding respectively to the evaluation criteria Excellence, Impact, and Quality and Efficiency of the Implementation, must consist of a maximum of 22 A4 pages. Excess pages will be automatically made invisible, and will not be taken into consideration by the evaluators. Please also consult Annex 2 of the EIC Work Programme 2025.
2. Eligible Countries
described in Annex B of the Work Programme General Annexes.
A number of non-EU/non-Associated Countries that are not automatically eligible for funding have made specific provisions for making funding available for their participants in Horizon Europe projects. See the information in the Horizon Europe Programme Guide.
The eligibility of applicants from third countries is explained in Annex 2 of the EIC Work Programme 2024.
3. Other Eligible Conditions
The EIC Transition is restricted to proposals based on results generated by the eligible projects described in the EIC Work Programme 2025.
4. Financial and operational capacity and exclusion
Described in Annex 2 of the EIC Work Programme 2025.
5a. Evaluation and award: Award criteria, scoring and thresholds
Described in section III of the EIC Work Programme 2025.
5b. Evaluation and award: Submission and evaluation processes
Described in section III of the EIC Work Programme 2025 and the Online Manual.
5c. Evaluation and award: Indicative timeline for evaluation and grant agreement
Described in section III of the EIC Work Programme 2025.
6. Legal and financial set-up of the grants
Please refer to the Model Grant Agreement (MGA) used for EIC actions under Horizon Europe.
