❌ Unclear TRL and milestones → ✅ Clearly state the starting TRL, the target, and the evidence that proves progress. ❌ Vague market definitions → ✅ Identify a specific user, payer, and buying trigger instead of broad categories.

❌ No real validation → ✅ Plan pilots or proof-of-concepts in a relevant environment with clear KPIs. At Bridge the Gap, we help innovators turn complex ideas into strong, fundable proposals with clear milestones, credible markets, and evidence of adoption.

Not every project is ready for the #EICAccelerator. Sometimes the right path is #EICTransition first. 🧭 Transition: for projects that need to de-risk technology and validate markets 🧭 Accelerator: for projects closer to market with a commercial roadmap and scaling needs 👇🧵

Decision cues: ➜ Work plan focuses on de-risking/validation → Transition ➜ Work plan focuses on industrialisation/commercialisation → Accelerator ➜ If you can’t say who pays, why, when → Transition #BridgeTheGap #EICTransition #EICAccelerator #EUFunding #HorizonEurope

Eurostars is ideal for SMEs leading international R&D collaborations with a clear route to market. It’s less suitable when the focus is purely regulatory or scaling-up, but perfect for applied R&D with a 2–3 year commercialisation horizon. #BridgeTheGap #Eurostars #EUREKA #SME
