Innovator-Centered Systemic Acceleration of Low-carbon Energy Solutions

Project description

Innovator coordination mechanism for low-carbon energy

EIT InnoEnergy connects people and resources, accelerating in this way the energy transition through new ideas, products and solutions. The EU-funded IC SALES project will enable bigger synergies between the Enhanced European Innovation Council (EIC) Pilot and EIT InnoEnergy by creating a tested, innovator customer-centred and business-oriented, coordination mechanism. The project will aim for a seamless reciprocal flow of innovative business from the EIC Accelerator to EIT InnoEnergy, de-risk funded business ideas and investigate co-investment possibilities. IC SALES will support a considerable number of innovators funded by the EIC Accelerator Pilot but not yet connected to EIT InnoEnergy and from the portfolio of EIT InnoEnergy to connect to the EIC Accelerator Pilot. It will also support a contributory ecosystem in low-carbon energy.

Objective

The overall objective of IC SALES is to ensure greater synergies between the Enhanced EIC Pilot and EIT InnoEnergy in support of the Green Deal and other European Union policy priorities, to be deployed under Horizon Europe.

IC SALES will achieve this objective though:
1. Establishing a tested, innovator (customer)-centered and business-oriented, coordination mechanism, notably around
• seamless flow of innovative business cases from the EIC Accelerator to EIT InnoEnergy and vice versa,
• leveraging of the EIT InnoEnergy eco-system and topical expertise for de-risking innovative business cases funded by the EIC Accelerator Pilot,
• investigating and defining the possibility of co-investments,

2. Supporting a significant number of innovators funded by the EIC Accelerator Pilot which are not already connected to EIT InnoEnergy.
3. Supporting a significant number of innovators from the portfolio of EIT InnoEnergy to connect to the EIC Accelerator pilot.
4. Supporting a conducive eco-system (capital, connectedness, competence) in low-carbon energy.
5. Extending the benefit of EIT InnoEnergy Business Acceleration Services to innovators receiving the EIC’s Seal of Excellence

Those objectives are fully in line and highly relevant for the Work Programme’s objectives of delivering a successful European Green Deal (climate-neutral EU 2050 and Green Recovery) and ultimately stimulating impact, i.e. market-creating breakthroughs for a resilient, competitive EU economy (growth, jobs, industrial leadership).
