Patricia Celie, selected as EIC Expert Mentor in Tech to Market Programme

Catalyze is pleased to share that Principal Consultant Patricia Celie has been selected as an expert mentor in the EIC Tech to Market Programme. In this role, Patricia supports EIC innovators as they translate breakthrough technologies into market-ready solutions, helping teams build stronger commercial foundations and accelerate their pathway to impact.

As Patricia explains in our video, Tech to Market was created to bridge the gap between exciting innovations and their markets, supporting innovators in building viable companies and products.

She shared: “As a mentor, I work with teams to change your assumptions, build your value propositions, and guide you through early-stage commercial thinking.”

Patricia’s selection also builds on Catalyze’s wider involvement as an EIC Partner in the EIC Ecosystem Partnership Programme, where we help extend the EIC’s Business Acceleration Services through trusted, specialised support. Through Catalyze, innovators can access expertise in business consulting, science communications, and investor readiness—and for eligible EIC Awardees and Seal of Excellence holders, these services are also available via EIC ACCESS+. This programme offers co-funding for services from the EIC Service Catalogue (up to 50% of costs, up to €60,000).
