As the European Commission has recently launched the new European Innovation Council, the first EIC Accelerator calls, which overall budget amounts to €1 billion, have officially opened on 9 April. Almost half of the attributed budget (€495 million) will be targeted at digital and health technologies as well as Green Deal related activities. The other half will be dedicated to innovation in all fields.

EIC Pathfinder research and innovation grants programme was opened on the same day with a total budget of €168 million.
