The InnoMatch programme for our OC1 EIC Awardee + Buyer winners has been running since September 2025. Throughout the Prepare and Deploy phases, winners were fully supported by the InnoMatch mentors as they first established their action plans and then focused on refining their solutions to meet the specific needs of the buyers.
At the end of the Deploy phase, after months of hard work meticulously guided by the InnoMatch team, these solutions are now ready for real world testing to prove they can truly drive innovation procurement.
The stakes were high and expectations even higher for our OC1 winners, who represent the “best of the best”. All eyes were on them to prove they could drive innovation forward and effectively solve the challenges many organisations face in their daily operations.
From onboarding through to the final check-ins, every milestone and requirement has been met. It is safe to say that the pilots are now ready to be put to the test, proving their worth and efficiency while showcasing the immense work done by the EIC Awardees and InnoMatch partners over the past few months.
Meet all the pilots here.
On the InnoMatch side, we are truly proud of our mentees. We are grateful for their belief in the programme, and above all, we are thrilled to see our concept, knowledge, and vision come to fruition through their hard work.
We have no doubt that these solutions will deliver stunning results, improving organisational effectiveness and driving the future of innovation procurement.
