The European Commission has announced the selection of 99 innovative startups and SMEs to be funded under the European Innovation Council (EIC) Accelerator programme. The selected startups will receive €627M of EU funding to help them bring their technologies to the market.

EU claims this to be one of the largest EIC Accelerator funding rounds to date, wherein the companies will receive grants and/or equity investments, depending on their needs, up to a maximum of €17.5M.

Ten of these companies are based out of the Netherlands.

EIC Accelerator – all you need to know

The European Innovation Council was launched under the Horizon Europe programme. The programme witnessed success during a pilot between 2018 and 2020 and has a budget of €10.1B. Approx €1.1B of this budget has been made available in 2021 for the EIC Accelerator.

The EIC Accelerator programme supports individual Small and Medium Enterprises (SMEs), in particular, startups and spin-out companies to develop and scale-up ground-breaking innovations. The programme offers startups and SMEs grants of up to €2.5M combined with equity investments through the EIC Fund ranging from €0.5M to €15M. 

In addition, EIC selected companies also receive coaching, mentoring, access to investors and corporates, and other opportunities.

Since its launch in March 2021, over 4,000 startups and SMEs have sent their ideas and over 1800 have submitted full applications to the cut-offs in June and October. The companies announced today were among 1098 who submitted to the second cut-off on 6 October, while the 65 companies selected following the June cut-off were announced already in October.

10 Dutch companies make the list

These startups were selected following a rigorous process, introduced under Horizon Europe, involving an ideas screening stage and full applications assessed by external experts and an interview with a jury of experienced investors and entrepreneurs. 

The innovative projects from the Netherlands that will receive support include:

Xeltis

Founder(s): Martijn Cox, Eliane Schutte (current CEO)

Founded in: 2006

Xeltis is a clinical-stage medical device company that makes heart valves. The company’s restorative heart valves enable the patient’s own body to naturally form a new heart valve through a therapeutic approach called Endogenous Tissue Restoration (ETR). With ETR, the patient’s natural healing system develops tissue that pervades Xeltis’ heart valve, forming a new, natural and fully functional valve within it. As ETR occurs, Xeltis implants are gradually absorbed by the body.

Currently, Xeltis has initiated the development of three types of cardiovascular implants: pulmonary heart valves, coronary artery bypass graft, and hemodialysis access grafts. Xeltis has its headquarters in Switzerland too.
