EIC ACCESS+ Peer Learning Workshop #3 – EIC Partners’ Day 2026

EIC ACCESS+ Convenes Deep-Tech Innovators and Ecosystem Partners for Landmark Peer-Learning Workshop at EIC Partners’ Day 2026

Brussels, 2 June 2026  | 14:00 – 17:00 CEST— The EIC ACCESS+ initiative hosts its third Peer-Learning Workshop as part of the EIC Partners’ Day 2026, bringing together EIC Ecosystem Partners, EIC beneficiaries, Seal of Excellence holders and and key stakeholders for an intensive, collaborative afternoon session at Maison de la Poste in Brussels. The workshop, running from 14:00 to 17:00 CET, will take place one day ahead of the EIC Summit 2026 and will offer participants early access to the conversations shaping the future of European deep-tech support.

What is the EIC ACCESS+ peer-learning workshop?

The EIC ACCESS+ initiative goes beyond its co-financing scheme — which offers EIC beneficiaries grants of up to EUR 60,000 to access specialised services through the EIC Service Catalogue. A core pillar of the programme is a structured, consultative peer-learning process designed to continuously improve the availability and quality of support services for the EIC Community.

The EIC ACCESS+ Peer-Learning Workshop is an interactive and working meeting where participants actively shape the support infrastructure available to Europe’s ambitious deep-tech innovators. Outcomes feed directly into the refinement of the EIC Service Catalogue.

This event promises meaningful dialogue, strategic insights, and practical outcomes to refine and optimise the service offerings within the EIC ecosystem.

Who Should Attend:

• EIC beneficiaries and Seal of Excellence holders seeking targeted support.
• EIC Ecosystem Partners wishing to align their service offers with real-world innovation needs.
• Prospective Ecosystem Partners interested in joining the EIC Service Catalogue.

For EIC Partners, this is an opportunity to position their services, understand beneficiary needs, and contribute to co-creating high-impact offerings. For EIC awardees, it is a direct channel to voice challenges, discover funding opportunities, and build strategic collaborations,  ahead of the broader EIC Summit audience.
