EIC Pathfinder portfolio strategic plans now available

January 2026

The European Innovation Council (EIC) has published the Strategic Plans for its EIC Pathfinder Challenge Portfolios. These plans set out shared objectives and coordinated activities across each portfolio, helping funded projects move promising research results closer to real-world innovation.

Developed by EIC Programme Managers in collaboration with portfolio projects and steering committees, the strategic plans outline how portfolios will work together across areas such as technology development, innovation pathways, communication and dissemination, ethics, and selected cross-cutting topics including regulation, IP and market understanding. Their role is to provide a common direction and framework for collaboration at portfolio level.
