The European Innovation Council presented a 2027 work programme opening more than €1.8 billion in funding opportunities on 5 November 2026, according to its official documents.

The programme spans several stages, from research to investments supporting business growth. It includes €248 million for Pathfinder, €92 million for Transition and €578 million for Accelerator.

It also announces €290 million for STEP Scale Up, €100 million for its defence call and €400 million for the Scaleup Europe Fund. These amounts concern separate schemes with their own conditions; they are not funds already disbursed to companies.

Applicants need to consult each call’s terms. The announcements concern 2027 and do not by themselves establish future industrial results.
