The EU's innovation-communities programme, delivered through the KICs — EIT Health, EIT Digital, EIT RawMaterials, EIT Urban Mobility and the rest. What the EU portal publishes here is mostly the communities' own business-plan calls and prizes; the startup programmes and equity-free funding run by each KIC are published on the KIC's own site, not on the portal.
