Grantline

Grantline tracks European Union grant calls for deep-tech and climate-tech companies. Every page on this site covers one call or one 2027 topic, with the exact deadline, the funding type, and a link to the official source it was checked against.

What this site is

Each page states what a call funds, who runs the programme, the exact deadline, and the date Grantline last checked that page against the official EU source. Facts come from the European Commission's Funding & Tenders Portal, the EIC's own pages, and the published Work Programmes — never from a third party, and never estimated.

How to use it

Browse by programme — EIC Accelerator, EIC Pathfinder Challenges, EIC STEP Scale Up, or the Horizon Europe clusters — or open a call page directly if you already have its code or name. Each page links to the official call or topic page for the full terms and the application process.

The digest

This site does not compare calls, rank them, or tell you which one fits your company. That analysis — eligibility, grant versus equity, a filtered 2027 calendar, and why specific programmes were excluded — is in the Grantline digest, a paid PDF. See the digest page for what's inside.
