The master class is organized by the Lat.tech (LIAA Brussels Representative Office) and the NCP (Horizon Europe National Contact Point in Latvia). The event is organized as a side event of the Deep Tech Atelier, therefore we encourage you to register for both events.
Target group: Latvian technology-oriented (e.g. deep-tech) companies that are in the 2nd or 3rd round of the EIC Accelerator or are actively preparing an application for the EIC Accelerator and are eligible to take part in it. Participants may be the lead project developer, or the entire team involved in the development of the application.
A very practical 1.5 h long conversation is planned. Participants would be able to hear key recommendations on how to better prepare for the 2nd and 3rd rounds, what are the typical mistakes, how to create a financial offer and other critical questions and answers from a skilled expert in the EIC Accelerator applications.
After a joint meeting, there is an opportunity to apply for a 15-minute individual consultation with an expert (pre-registration is mandatory).

- Introduction of the Accelerator programme, evaluation process and the logic of grant and equity;
- Main characteristics of a successful projects with concrete company examples;
- Moving from Stage 1 to Stage 2 – how to present your innovation and competitive advantages and how to set up your go to market strategy and sales estimates;
