On November 19, 2026, PIXSpain Competence Centre will organise an information session at Universidad Carlos III de Madrid focused on the EIC Accelerator 2027 Work Programme and the funding opportunities offered by the Chips Fund to support the growth of companies in the semiconductor sector.
The event, aimed at startups, scale-ups, SMEs and small mid-cap companies, will bring together representatives from the Spanish Centre for Technological Development and Innovation (CDTI) and the European Commission to present European funding instruments designed to support innovation and business growth in the semiconductor industry.
In addition, you will have the opportunity to hear first-hand about Quside’s success story, as a company that received funding from the EIC Accelerator in 2023, and gain insights into the role of investors in the funding process, with contributions from Bullnet Capital.
