It brings together the parts of Horizon 2020 that provide funding, advice and networking opportunities for those at cutting edge of innovation. The EIC pilot is an initiative of the European Commission that proposes substantial funding and competitive offerings for innovators regarding access to finance, coaching, and other means of support.
