Status History

2026-07-09 OPEN → INELIGIBLE · Three compounding hard blockers: (1) the venture is not incorporated — EIC STEP Scale Up requires a registered SME or small mid-cap legally established in an EU Member State or eligible Associated Country; (2) the programme is an equity investment of EUR 10–30M targeting companies seeking total funding rounds of EUR 50–150M with a qualified-investor pre-commitment covering ≥20% — wholly incompatible with a pre-seed proof-of-concept stage; (3) the applicant is currently resident in Nigeria, not in an eligible EU/Associated Country.
