Co-reactive selected for the EIC Accelerator to scale carbon-negative construction materials

Co-reactive is proud to announce its selection for the EIC Accelerator, the European Union’s flagship programme supporting high-impact start-ups and SMEs with breakthrough technologies. The funding was officially confirmed by the European Innovation Council (EIC) in its latest results announcement.

In the most recent evaluation round, 61 start-ups and SMEs were selected from 121 companies that reached the final interview stage, recognizing their transformative technologies and strong commercial potential. Together, the selected companies will receive a mix of grant and equity funding, with a total proposed support volume of approximately €467 million.

The EIC Accelerator, part of the Horizon Europe programme, is designed to help innovative companies bring deep-tech solutions from late-stage development to market deployment and global scale. It provides a combination of grant funding, equity investment, and access to the EIC’s business acceleration ecosystem.

For Co-reactive, this support marks an important milestone in scaling its mission to build a decarbonized construction materials value chain. The company’s technology enables the transformation of captured CO₂ and mineral industrial by-products, such as metallurgical slags, into valuable cementitious materials, permanently storing CO₂ while reducing the carbon footprint of construction.

With the backing of the EIC Accelerator, Co-reactive will accelerate the development and deployment of its mineralization technology, expanding industrial partnerships and bringing carbon-negative building materials closer to large-scale adoption.

This recognition from the European innovation ecosystem highlights the growing importance of circular materials and carbon utilization in achieving Europe’s climate and industrial transformation goals.
