Choosing based on your maturity stage
You have an idea to structure
Start with an ideation program. STARTECH is the generalist format (a 3-day ideation bootcamp + selection committee and follow-up). If your project is agricultural or environmental, AgreenTech goes further, with 8 weeks of ideation and pre-incubation, culminating in a demo day.
You want to prototype quickly, as a team
The AInnovathon is a 72-hour hackathon to design AI solutions applied to health and education. The HACK'DAYS par Région 2026 combined a call for projects, an introductory workshop, and regional bootcamps (Fès-Meknès, Drâa-Tafilalet, L'Oriental) with post-bootcamp support, which closed on June 8, 2026 with 9 winning projects.
You have a more mature AgriTech project
Tech4Farmers is a 6-month incubation program (bootcamps, coaching, field validation in agricultural regions), designed for AgriTech startups that have moved beyond the idea stage.
You are ready to pitch and raise funds
The Demo Days EIC are the acceleration stage: a one-day pitch session before investors, partners, and mentors.
Choosing based on your sector
- AgriTech / GreenTech: AgreenTech (ideation) followed by Tech4Farmers (incubation) form a dedicated continuum.
- Health & education: the AInnovathon targets HealthTech and EdTech.
- All sectors: STARTECH, HACK'DAYS par Région, and the Demo Days are open to generalist innovation (digital, FinTech, CleanTech, cybersecurity, etc.).
- Social innovation & Mediterranean youth: MedYouth Lab.
How to apply
Each program has its own page on euromedinnovation.center/en/programs, with its application form and the up-to-date registration status. If you are unsure which program suits your stage, contact the EIC: the first orientation is free.
