What Is Fast Track 2025?
Fast Track 2025 is your opportunity to secure additional EIT funding to boost your project's commercial success. This call is designed for ongoing projects and start-ups that have already received EIT RawMaterials funding in 2025—and are ready to move further, faster.
Fast Track 2025 accelerates high-potential projects supported under these EIT RawMaterials programmes:
- Booster
- Upscaling
- Education (PhD, Master, Lifelong Learning, Wider Society Learning)
- Regional Innovation Scheme (RIS)
- Internationalisation
We provide extra funding to help you:
- Develop a Go-To-Market strategy, if your project wasn’t funded for it originally
- Launch your product/service to market, especially if you're in the final stages of an Upscaling or Lifelong Learning project and need that last push or a commercialisation partner
Who Can Apply?
Eligibility is simple:
- You must be part of a project or start-up that has received EIT RawMaterials funding in 2025
- Your project must fall under one of the eligible programmes listed above
How Much Funding Can You Get?
- Up to €500,000 per project
- Larger amounts may be considered in exceptional cases
- Funding awarded will count toward your annual EIT funding limit
