FINN DE NYESTE RESULTATENE HER

European Innovation Council (EIC) Accelerator-programmet står som et støttesystem for startups og små og mellomstore bedrifter (SMB) over hele Europa, med sikte på å fremme innovasjon og teknologisk fremgang. Med dens siste resultater publisert 28. februar 2024, EIC Accelerator har nok en gang demonstrert sin forpliktelse til å fremme banebrytende prosjekter med en total budsjettallokering på €285 millioner. Denne analysen går nærmere inn på fordelingen av tilskudd og blended financing, suksessratene på tvers av ulike stadier, og den geografiske spredningen til vinnerselskapene.

Finansieringsfordeling: En nærmere titt på tildelingen

I den siste finansieringssyklusen har EIC Accelerator støttet 42 selskaper, og har vist et mangfold av finansieringsalternativer skreddersydd for å møte de varierte behovene til Europas innovatører. Fordelingen av finansieringstyper er som følger:

  • Grant først: 12 selskaper (29%) ble tildelt tilskudd som et første finansieringstrinn, noe som fremhever EICs fleksibilitet når det gjelder å støtte innovasjoner i tidlig stadium.
  • Blended Finance: Dominerende finansieringslandskapet, 26 selskaper (62%) mottok blended finance, og kombinerer tilskudd og egenkapital for å gi en robust støtte for ventures klare til å skalere opp.
  • Kun egenkapital: Et enkelt selskap (2%) sikret egenkapitalfinansiering, noe som understreker EICs rolle i å ta en eierandel i lovende bedrifter.
  • Kun tilskudd: 3 selskaper (7%) mottok tilskudd uten egenkapitalkomponenten, med fokus på prosjekter med spesifikke behov som kan dekkes med direkte finansiering.

Veien til suksess: Analysere suksessratene

EIC Accelerators utvelgelsesprosess er streng, designet for å identifisere prosjekter med størst potensiell effekt. Suksessratene på hvert trinn i søknadsprosessen er som følger:

  • Trinn 1: Omtrent 70% av søkere passerer denne innledende fasen, men nøyaktige tall er ikke avslørt.
  • Steg 2: Bare 22% med prosjekter kommer gjennom, noe som gjenspeiler den økende granskingen søknadene gjennomgår.
  • Trinn 3: Det siste trinnet ser en ytterligere innsnevring, med en suksessrate på 17%.
  • Kombinerte suksessrater: Den kumulative suksessraten for søkere som går gjennom trinn 2 og 3 er bare 3,9%, mens den totale suksessraten for alle tre stadier er omtrent 2,7%.

Geografisk mangfold: En paneuropeisk innvirkning

Den siste finansieringsrunden har kommet bedrifter fra 15 forskjellige land til gode, og viser EIC Accelerators pan-europeiske rekkevidde. Tyskland leder flokken med 7 selskaper finansiert, tett fulgt av Frankrike med 6, og Spania og Sverige hver med 5. Andre land med vellykkede søkere inkluderer Finland (4), Italia (3), Israel (2), Nederland (2), Norge (2), og flere andre med ett selskap hver, viser EICs forpliktelse til å fremme innovasjon på tvers av kontinentet.

Konklusjon

EIC Accelerators siste finansieringsresultater fremhever programmets kritiske rolle i å støtte det europeiske innovasjonsøkosystemet. Med et totalbudsjett på €285 millioner, har programmet støttet 42 selskaper over et bredt spekter av sektorer og land, noe som understreker mangfoldet og potensialet i Europas teknologiske landskap. Ettersom EIC Accelerator fortsetter å utvikle seg, er dens innvirkning på å fremme banebrytende prosjekter og oppskalering av små og mellomstore bedrifter ubestridelig, noe som gjør den til en hjørnestein i Europas innovasjonspolitikk.

Med grundig oppmerksomhet på å støtte ulike finansieringsbehov, strenge utvelgelsesprosesser og en forpliktelse til geografisk inkludering, baner EIC Accelerator vei for et mer innovativt og robust Europa. Mens vi ser frem til fremtidige finansieringsrunder, fungerer resultatene fra februar 2024 som et vitnesbyrd om den levende gründerånden som trives over hele kontinentet.
