Accelerating investments and partnerships for EIC High Growth deep tech beneficiaries

Only 5% of European start-ups scale-up and pursue the position of world tech leaders. The growth barriers are high for truly high-risk deep-tech innovators, the main target of EIC instruments.

Deep-tech innovators struggle to get required capital at the different stages of their lifecycle.The EIC-ScalingUP is set to create a blueprint for the EIC deep-tech growth companies to successfully scale and accelerate their investments and partnerships.

It will identify, engage, select and feature 50 EIC companies with ability to become world-scale companies, select up to 30 and guide their growth plan and ambitions and create the blueprint of the tailored ScalingUP services.

The execution of the defined blueprint will support the growth and funding of the 30 companies and foster exposure and connections with target stakeholders and networks with the aim to impact the key growth fundamentals and to lead to a successful Series B/C round or acquisition value, thus validating the EIC-ScalingUP blueprint.It is expected that 500+ Euro Million will be raised by the supported companies and inspirational success stories of EIC deep-tech companies will be broadly promoted to establish the EIC-ScalingUP as a credential of honour among Investment & Innovation communities.All activities in the EIC-ScalingUP are carried out by a consortium of 4 partners with complementary expertise: Coordinator Tech Tour (Networking & matchmaking between innovative SMEs; investors, corporates and advisors), Bpifrance (the French public investment bank assists businesses across stages and sectors and finances them from the seed phase to transfer to stocks exchange listing through loans, guarantees and equity), Boston Consulting Group (a global management consulting company with a deep understanding of the Deep Tech ecosystem) and Deepwave Ventures.
