EIT RawMaterials Accelerator programme provides tailored support for start-ups to fast-track their business, by connecting start-ups with the world’s largest innovation community in the raw materials sector.

The support provided in 3 phases consists of both group work, individual coaching as well as anchoring start-ups in their local and national ecosystems while at the same time opening up introductions on a Pan-European level to partners of the EIT RawMaterials Innovation Community. The combination of local anchoring and Pan-European opportunities are envisaged to increase the success rate and market opportunities of the selected start-ups.

This call is open for start-ups that already have an innovative offering (at TRL 4-6) and see an opportunity in rapidly developing this offering in the raw materials sector: from exploration, mining and mineral processing, to recycling, substitution and circular economy.

Phase 1 – Invent: 3 months of expert business coaching with a focus on building a proof of concept for your business model and discovering your market niche.

Phase 2 – Build: 6 months, supports your validation of customer needs and verification of business assumptions while identifying criteria for market entry.

Phase 3 – Grow: 6-9 months, tailors your business for launch through market entry, raising financing and expansion of your team.
