Discover great EU-funded Innovations
EIC Transition: innovation discovery tool for EIC Pathfinder / FET innovations

The EIC Transition instrument supports activities to mature a novel technology and develop a business case to bring it to market. Funding will be awarded through an open call supporting projects in any field of science, technology or application. The 2025 call has a submission deadline on 17/09/2025.

The call is restricted to results generated by projects with a certain start or end date previously funded by EIC Pathfinder, FET calls, ERC Proof of Concept projects, RIA projects funded by Horizon 2020 Societal challenges and Leadership in Industrial Technologies as well as Pilar II Horizon Europe with an eligible TRL and certain projects funded by the European Defence Fund. There are further eligibility conditions which applicants are responsible for to verify before eventually applying.

More details can be found on the EIC Transition website and in the EIC 2025 Work Programme, including who can apply, the eligibility conditions, possible support, etc.

The discovery tool presented on this page is to facilitate the preparation of proposals. The tool is purely provided to interested parties to start the discovery process to identify innovations that could possibly be the basis for an EIC Transition proposal. Namely, applicants will need to demonstrate that they are the owner or holder of the Intellectual Property Rights (IPR), or have the necessary rights to commercialise the results from the eligible project.

The search tool below allows potential EIC Transition applicants to navigate innovations in the Innovation Radar database that come from FET and EIC Pathfinder projects as well as Pilar II Horizon Europe RIAs funded under Horizon 2020 Societal challenges and Leadership in Industrial Technologies and pilar II Horizon Europe.

All innovations listed have an eligible start or end date for the Transition 2025 call. Be aware that the search tool has not taken into account the TRL levels of the RIAs funded under Horizon 2020 or Horizon Europe. Also, innovations from ERC Proof of Concept, the European Defence Fund and other eligible schemes/projects do not appear in this search tool.

Results are ranked on the basis of the date the innovation was analysed by Innovation Radar (most recent results at the top taking into account the above mentioned eligibility dates). All innovations appearing below have been analysed by the JRC’s Innovation Radar methodology.

  • Use key word searches / filters to find project results / novel technologies that could be ready for the next steps towards its maturation and validation and / or you think could be the basis for ground-breaking new business.Titles and descriptions of innovations will be searched for your key word(s).
  • The “Market Maturity” filter can help identify innovations on the basis of their market maturity
  • Each project result identifies up to 3 "key innovator" organisations who were involved in development of the result. These could be candidates for partnership in an EIC Transition proposal.
  • Links are provided to a profile page of these organisation on the Innovation Radar page. On this profile page you can find an "E-mail this innovator" link to send a message direct to the innovator. This is one path for you to kick start an exchange about a possible proposal based on their innovation.
