EIT Climate-KIC has historically run a staged accelerator paying equity-free grants per stage (commonly EUR 15,000 at Stage 1, EUR 25,000 Stage 2, EUR 50,000 Stage 3) plus coaching. The flagship pan-European Accelerator has been restructured into regional and challenge-led entrepreneurship programmes; check current offers.

Deadline: One call a year — The classic three-stage EIT Climate-KIC Accelerator is no longer offered as a single pan-European call; entrepreneurship support now runs through regional hubs, ClimAccelerator-branded programmes and challenge calls with their own deadlines.
