The EIC Scaling Club can only reach its goal of scaling 20% of Club members into unicorns (and driving 40% of growth in every company) if there is support from every piece of the puzzle. That's why the Club is made up of members (deep tech startups and scaleups), the public sector (EIC), media representatives, mentors, and stakeholders (corporates, investors, and public agencies). 

While support from everyone is absolutely necessary, the stakeholder segment is particularly important, and it can also stand to gain. 

Stakeholder onboarding is currently underway – if interested, please express interest until July 5th by filling out this form.

 

Who are the stakeholders?

The stakeholders are made up of investors, corporates, and public agencies. 

They are organizations that can significantly move forward a deep tech's growth trajectory – either through investment, mentoring, support with corporate collaboration, or amplifying their visibility through the networks.

Stakeholders are grouped into various market opportunities – segments where they feel they can offer the greatest value. Some segments that the Scaling Club is still looking for mentors in are: 

  • Agri & Food Tech
  • Batteries & Energy Storage
  • Cardiovascular Therapies
  • Clean Fuels & Hydrogen
  • New Biotech Platforms
  • New Space

Perhaps the most important role a Stakeholder can play, however, is by nominating new EIC Scaling Club members – deep tech startups and scaleups that stand to gain from the programme. The Scaling Club will onboard between 100-120 members, which are recommended to the Club by Stakeholders. The Club Members then are able to access mentorship, custom-developed go-to-market strategies, introductions to investors and corporates, amplification of their success, and more. 

 

What's in it for the Stakeholders?

The main benefit of becoming a Stakeholder is gaining access to the platform that connects you to Europe's leading movers and shakers of the deep tech space across multiple industries and verticals. 

Access to this exclusive membership-based network allows you to build solid relationships with top technology investors, deep tech entrepreneurs and operators, and corporate innovators. As well as to develop visibility and access to governmental institutions related to innovation and growth. 

Stakeholder benefits include:

  • Recognition as an invited and engaged Stakeholder Member in the EIC Scaling Club
  • Being featured in Club reports that are published on the website and disseminated through EIC Scaling Club channels
  • Direct access to Europe’s top performing innovative companies in strategic areas
  • The opportunity to collaborate with more than 170 Club Members and counting, including VC, CVC, Government and Innovation Agencies, Experts, EU policy makers and of course the selected companies
  • Access to all online and onsite Club events with networking opportunities and company pitching sessions
  • Access to the community on the EuroQuity matchmaking platform

 

What is expected from Stakeholders?

Stakeholders are required to express their interest in joining the Scaling Club by filling out the online form.

If selected, Stakeholders can expect to dedicate approximately three days of team time over the next 12 months. 

Optionally, Stakeholders can increase their participation to make the most of their experience. They can:

  • Nominate deep tech companies to become EIC Scaling Club members
  • Take part in the evaluation of nominated companies
  • Participate in on-site and online club events
  • Provide additional mentorship to club members

Stakeholder onboarding will continue until July 5th. Investors, corporates, and agencies that are interested in applying are invited to fill out the form to express interest.
