EIC Breakfast Session: DeepTech Founders & the EIC Accelerator 2026
On March 25, from 08:30–10:00, we are hosting an exclusive EIC Breakfast Session for DeepTech Founders at the ETH AI Center.
This curated morning session brings together selected founders to gain first-hand insights into the EIC Work Programme 2026, with a dedicated focus on the EIC Accelerator.
Inside the EIC: What Founders Need to Know
Our guest speakers will provide practical, experience-based perspectives:
- Klaus Fuchs, Co-Founder of Rockstar Recruiting
- Cynthia Jurytko, EIC Jury Member
Cynthia will share valuable jury-side insights into evaluation logic, funding structure, and common pitfalls founders should avoid. This will be followed by a focused session on team evolution and hiring strategies post-funding, helping founders prepare for the scale-up phase beyond capital.
Exchange & Networking
The session will conclude with informal discussion and networking over coffee, offering founders the opportunity to connect directly with peers and speakers.
We look forward to an insightful and high-value morning together.
