  -     **body:** The EIC has launched the **third edition of Women TechEU** (2026-2028), putting **€12 million** of equity-free grants on the table. **160 startups** will each receive **€75,000** in non-dilutive funding, plus a business development programme: one-to-one mentoring, training, and matchmaking with investors and corporates.

It is open to **women-led deep tech startups** across **43 eligible countries**. The eligibility phase opened **1 June**, with weekly cut-offs every **Tuesday at 17:00 Brussels** from **30 June**. Full proposals open in **July**, with four deadlines.

  -     **body:** At pre-seed, **€75,000 that takes no equity** is rare, and the rolling eligibility window removes the usual deadline scramble: clear the check early, then choose your full-proposal slot.

The catch is the funnel. The grant is a runway extender, not a round, and the field is competitive. Treat it as validation and a warm path into the **EIC investor network** rather than the raise itself.
