The criteria set by the European Commission for these 100 start-ups to be selected are as follows:

  • Developing innovations in the field of deep tech
  • Having a total funding amount of at least €5 million obtained by the start-up so far, with the latest funding obtained in 2019 or later (including equity investments, public grants -national and European Union sources-, loans, debt financing, and convertible bonds).
  • Operating in one of the following areas:
  1. Next-Gen Computing

The companies participating in this program will be selected by program organizers from those supported by EIC or proposed by national funding institutions. TÜBİTAK will directly transmit the information of the companies filling out this form to the program managers. TÜBİTAK will not have any role in the selection of the supported companies.

The EIC Scaling Club aims to achieve the following goals with its 2-year program, providing selected 100 start-ups with special training sessions, access to suitable business partners, and investors:

  • Increasing the companies' valuations by 40%
  • Addressing critical societal needs in areas such as digital technology, transportation, healthcare, energy, and climate, and focusing on new sectoral market opportunities

Innovation stakeholders selected from those who apply to this call will have the opportunity to network with these 100 start-ups and other Club members, as well as invest in start-ups and engage in discussions with relevant EU policymakers. The innovation ecosystem stakeholders to be included in the Club are:

  • Investors and Corporate Companies
