With this new action, the European Innovation Council addresses that gap by focusing on high-impact deep-tech innovations in sectors such as artificial intelligence, robotics, biotechnology, cybersecurity and other priority areas for Ukraine.
Eligible companies can apply for grants of up to €500 000 to develop their technologies to move to market deployment (from Technology Readiness Level (TRL) 4 to TRL 6–7).
Around 40 projects are expected to receive funding. There will be a special emphasis on women-led enterprises to promote inclusivity in Ukraine’s tech landscape.
