EIC STEP Scale Up

Swiss entities can participate.

Further information can be found in the Q&A on the SERI website and on the Euresearch webpage. 

NB: as with other parts of the Horizon Europe work programme, some EIC STEP calls may restrict eligibility conditions in order to safeguard the EU's strategic assets, interests, autonomy or security and accordingly Swiss companies may be excluded.

Calls

The EIC STEP Scale-up instrument is limited to a number of strategic technologies:

• Digital technologies, and deep tech innovations;
• Clean and resource efficient technologies, including net-zero technologies; 
• Biotechnologies, including medicinal products on Union list of critical medicines. 

Detailed definitions are provided in the EIC Work Programme and in the Commission guidance document on STEP.
