The European Innovation Council operates at the forefront of scientific and technological developments. This ambition is underlined by the EIC Tech Report 2023 which highlights novel technologies and innovations submitted to the EIC under Horizon Europe. The report has an emphasis on early-stage research projects, funded following extensive independent expert review. It also includes some areas of technology that have attracted high quality proposals, but that are not funded to date by the EIC. It relies on a range of inputs and the views and insights of EIC Programme Managers and covers a wide range of topics: digital technologies, industry and space, cleantech and health.
The analysis shared in the report will help inform future explorations of the EIC portfolio, mapping internal EIC data to global trends based on patents, publications, funding and investments.
Background information
It is the second EIC Tech Report. The first one, published in 2022, presented a number of emerging technologies and breakthrough innovations that have been identified during a first identification process conducted in 2021.
