EIC Transition 2026: Bringing IP to Market with Success
Live Webinar · 7 July 2026 EUR 100 million in funding. Around 40 grants available. Up to EUR 2.5 million per project. Many researchers and innovation teams already have eligible results for EIC Transition funding — but never realise it. If your technology or intellectual property originates from a Pathfinder, ERC Proof of Concept, FET, Pillar 2, or Research Infrastructure project, you may already qualify for one of the most commercially focused instruments in Horizon Europe. This practical 90-minute webinar explains how EIC Transition works, what evaluators expect from the TRL 3 to 5/6 pathway, and how to position your project for both written evaluation and the interview stage. With the 16 September 2026 deadline approaching, this session helps you determine whether your project is ready — and how to move from research result to market opportunity

Why Attend
EIC Transition is designed for technologies moving from laboratory proof-of-concept toward industrial validation and commercial readiness.
Yet many eligible applicants never apply because they:
Misunderstand eligibility rules
Assume their project is “too early”
Lack a clear TRL progression narrative
Underestimate the importance of the interview stage
This webinar shows you:
What qualifies as an eligible result
How evaluators assess the TRL 3 → 5/6 journey
What the interview panel expects
How Booster grants and follow-on opportunities work
You will leave with a realistic understanding of your project’s positioning and next steps before the September deadline.
What You Will Walk Away With
1. Understand Whether Your Project Is Eligible
Learn which prior EU-funded results can serve as the basis for an EIC Transition application.
2. Build a Strong TRL 3 to 5/6 Narrative
See how evaluators assess technology maturation, validation, and commercial readiness.
3. Prepare for the Interview Stage
Gain insight into the evaluation interviews that typically take place 11–13 weeks after the deadline.
4. Understand the Post-Award Pathway
Explore Booster grants, follow-on funding logic, and how Transition fits within the wider EIC ecosystem.
