Stronger connections for tailored support 

The EIC ACCESS+ initiative aims to facilitate clearer, easier access for deep-tech start-ups and SMEs to critical services essential for scaling their innovations. Recognising that effective support hinges on visibility and alignment with beneficiaries’ actual needs, the workshop will foster direct dialogue between innovators and ecosystem service providers, mutual understanding and tailored matchmaking. 

 
Part of a broader EIC ACCESS+ effort that includes thematic info days and future learning events, this session will explore educational marketing as a key tool to build trust and improve service visibility. 

 Through interactive discussions, participants will: 

• Identify the highest priority needs of EIC beneficiaries; 

• Clarify how service benefits can be communicated effectively to innovators; 

• Co-create engaging and informative sessions addressing real-world scaling challenges; 

• Enhance visibility through shared experiences and knowledge exchange, with focus on trust-building and educational engagement. 

Who should attend? 

• EIC beneficiaries and Seal of Excellence Holders looking to optimise their growth journey through strategic service access; 

• EIC Ecosystem Partners aiming to refine their offerings through deeper insights into innovator needs; 

• Organisations interested in becoming part of the EIC Ecosystem Partnership and featuring in the EIC Service Catalogue. 

Why join? 

• Collaborate in shaping a supportive ecosystem according to your scaling needs; 

• Engage in meaningful dialogue and networking with trusted service providers; 

• Ensure future services closely aligned with specific growth challenges; 

• Contribute to and benefit from a collaborative, community-driven approach to deep-tech innovation.
