✅New Market Creation: We are creating an entirely new market for proactive forest fire prevention by commercializing a Teflon-derived biomaterial that auto-extinguishes before ignition. Governments and forestry operators now procure prevention-as-a-service rather than episodic suppression, establishing recurring material sales and subscription coaching revenue where none existed.
🔷Industry Transformation: We are reshaping the forestry protection industry by replacing slow, reactive interventions with an autonomous, temperature-activated biofilm that reduces risk by 95%, cuts damage costs by 99%, and delivers tenfold faster response. Customer interactions shift from emergency contracting to strategic prevention programs and integrated procurement.
✅Rapid Scaling and Competitive Position: The status quo is locked in costly, ineffective reactive processes. We gain market share rapidly through pilot wins, licensing conversations with incumbent suppliers, and a distribution partner network including Fire Stasi that connects us to thousands of forests, enabling scalable penetration and accelerated revenue growth.

Learn the common mistakes that automatically disqualify EIC Accelerator applications before they reach evaluation.
The EIC evaluation criteria are akin to an obstacle course. Small divergence in the team, technology, funding plans, financial projections, policy targets, social impacts, or gender equality can lead to strikingly different results.
Many applicants inadvertently embed red flags in their proposal by asking for an ineligible funding amount, defining the TRL incorrectly, setting the wrong project duration, and more. There are dozens if not hundreds of possible red flags, which is why using ChatEIC as a framework is a safe way to avoid most of them. ChatEIC has very defined processes which structure key sections with full EIC alignment in mind. It will automatically reshape most sections to fit the program even if the input diverged from it to increase the quality of the proposal.

Experience the difference with AI-powered research, expert guidance, and tools designed specifically for EIC Accelerator success.
ChatEIC performs comprehensive deep research of EU policy, market data, and competitor analysis to enhance your proposal. This ensures your application is aligned with current European innovation priorities and demonstrates a thorough understanding of the competitive landscape and market opportunities.
ChatEIC uses comprehensive data validation and structured input fields that directly target specific sections in the proposal. This systematic approach allows the AI to create optimized output by ensuring all necessary information is captured and validated before generating your proposal.
ChatEIC is fast. In fact, it saves 99% of the proposal writing time. It can produce a full EIC Accelerator Step 1 proposal in minutes. Manual writing often takes one month until a usable draft is produced, and non-professional writers often take even longer than that.
ChatEIC directly addresses the applicant's needs by providing an editable and formatted Word file (.docx) as the final output. This makes it not only fast, accurate, and high-quality but also very convenient to use. Downloads are unlimited.
Many applicants that apply by themselves fail due to technicalities rather than based on the merit of their idea. The EIC tends to grade proposals like a school teacher rather than like an investor. They expect specific wordings, Technology Readiness Levels (TRL), diversity plans, hiring strategies, and more. ChatEIC knows the rules.
Here is what its creator has to say: "I was very impressed with the quality of the output even based on very diverse input data sets. It could easily handle proposal writing just based on a pitch deck and was able to extract just what it needs to write sections the way a professional would."
ChatEIC is highly affordable and offers the best value for money compared to alternative AI tools. While consultancies typically charge €5,000 or more for preparing a Step 1 proposal, ChatEIC costs at least 95% less, making it a cost-effective solution for your grant writing needs.
The European Innovation Council (EIC) is notoriously complex, and most online content is outdated due to frequent program changes and transformations. ChatEIC stays up to date and reliable. Instead of spending time on research and grant writing, you can focus on building your business and innovation!
Everything you need to know about ChatEIC and the EIC Accelerator process.
If this is your first time writing a proposal, it's strongly recommended to create a ChatEIC version to see how it differs. New applicants often make the same mistakes, the biggest being poor allocation of content - spending too much text on less relevant sections and too little on the key parts. This throws off the balance of the proposal since some sections are less important for the evaluation while others are critical. Many are also unaware of EIC rules, leading to rejections over technicalities like incorrect funding amounts, wrong TRL levels, or a structure that doesn't align with EIC expectations. ChatEIC can serve as a backup, allowing you to extract the best parts for your own application.
After years of working with clients on EIC Accelerator proposals, it became clear that many applicants make the same recurring mistakes. Applying to the EIC isn't just about submitting a business proposal - it's about aligning your project with EIC priorities. Unfortunately, this alignment is not clearly explained in the official templates, and many applicants get rejected simply because they don't know the rules. ChatEIC acts as a safety net. Even if you already have a proposal, it's worth generating one through ChatEIC and then using the parts you find useful, adapting them as needed.
Absolutely - that's exactly what it's designed for. ChatEIC consistently generates proposals with the ideal length of around 11 pages, leaving you room to add images or expand technical details while staying within the 12-page limit. Critical sections are always well-crafted because they tend to be more standardized, and ChatEIC knows precisely how they should be phrased. It understands how to justify the need for funding, explain co-financing, and align with EIC expectations. You can think of ChatEIC as a co-pilot, helping you shape the best possible application.
Credits allow you to generate complete EIC Accelerator proposals using our streamlined system. Each credit provides access to generate one complete proposal with all sections included. The system automatically processes all sections of your proposal, ensuring consistency and quality throughout the entire document. With 1 credit, you get a complete proposal enhanced with DeepResearch for EU policy, market and competitor analysis, input validation to ensure completeness, automatic financial calculations, and a professionally formatted DOCX with hyperlinks and references.
ChatEIC produces high-quality output that directly reflects the level of detail provided in your input. The more comprehensive your input data, the more detailed and precise your proposal will be. While it's possible to generate a complete proposal from just a pitch deck or summary, some sections might lack depth if the corresponding information wasn't included in your input. For the best results, we recommend using our project data input fields and providing as much relevant information as possible to ensure a comprehensive and well-structured proposal.
The context window of the AI is generally 100,000 to 200,000 tokens which translates to 400,000 to 800,000 characters. Files that contain more text will not be usable (i.e., very large documents) but the uploader works for pitch decks, regular sized summaries and more. It will also be necessary to check the generated text for accuracy and to generate other documents that might be needed for the submission (i.e., images, video, pitch deck).
All data is handled with care and will not be shared unnecessarily, as defined in the Privacy Policy. It is possible for every user to fully delete all input and output data from the database after which not even the administrator can recover it. It is recommended to use ChatEIC to generate a proposal and to then delete all data after you have downloaded the final result.
