Seal of Excellence Go-to-Market

European Innovation Council · EIC Services

Your Seal of Excellence is a quality seal, not a cheque. Turn the award into a market entry.

Premium & IndividualAvailable as Premium (self-implementation) or Individual (with Ilkay at your side).

Go-to-market support for companies holding a Seal of Excellence. We explore alternative funding routes, look for industry partners and pilot customers and build communication and visibility around the seal.

Your benefit

  • Use the seal as a door opener
  • Alternative funding routes in view
  • Conversations with pilot customers from industry
  • Visibility with investors and partners

The starting situation

You have the seal. The funding did not come, and there is no plan yet for the months ahead.

The problem

A seal without follow-up fades. The market does not wait for the next call.

The new perspective

Many see the seal as a consolation prize. Yet it certifies that independent evaluators judged your venture worthy of funding.

Three steps we take together:

  1. 01

    Analysis

    Status, funding options, market readiness and target segments.

  2. 02

    Strategy

    Go-to-market plan, partners and communication that makes use of the seal.

  3. 03

    Activation

    Pilot customers, investors, events and a LinkedIn® campaign.

The result

The award becomes the starting point for your market entry.
