**What it does not test.** This does not establish that any of the 40 projects will reach market, only that grant funding was awarded.

**How this item counts.** No movement: no answer to who owns, who operates, whose law governs or who made the parts changes. Weight 0\. EIC grants 40 projects across 17 countries; market readiness not established. [European Sovereignty Index](https://sovereigntymonitor.eu/sovereignty-index/)
