In the ever-evolving world of innovation and entrepreneurship, securing funding is often the critical step that transforms ideas into reality. For businesses seeking substantial financial backing from the European Innovation Council (EIC) Accelerator, presenting a compelling and professional video pitch can be the key to success. At Industreel Video Production, we specialise in creating high-impact video pitches tailored to the unique requirements of the EIC Accelerator, with a focus on industrial, corporate, and manufacturing environments across the UK.

The Importance of a Professional EIC Accelerator Video Pitch

The EIC Accelerator is a highly competitive funding programme designed to support small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) with groundbreaking innovations. One of the key components of the application process is the video pitch, where businesses have the opportunity to present their project, its potential impact, and their vision to a panel of experts. A well-produced video pitch not only conveys the technical aspects of your innovation but also showcases your passion, professionalism, and commitment to success.

Given the high stakes, it’s essential that your video pitch is produced to the highest standards. This is where Industreel Video Production comes in. With extensive experience in filming across industrial, corporate, and manufacturing settings, we understand the unique challenges and opportunities that these environments present. We work closely with you to create a video pitch that not only meets the EIC‘s rigorous criteria but also stands out from the competition.

Case Study: JIVA Materials EIC Video Pitch

One of our recent projects involved producing an EIC Accelerator video pitch for JIVA Materials, a pioneering company developing sustainable alternatives in the electronics industry. JIVA Materials needed a video that would clearly communicate the innovative nature of their product while also highlighting the environmental impact and commercial potential.

To achieve this, we shot the primary interview on-site, capturing the essence of their workspace and their dedication to sustainability. We complemented the talking head interview with high-quality B-roll footage that included scenes of their manufacturing process, close-ups of their innovative materials, and shots of their team in action. This combination of interview and B-roll footage resulted in a compelling and visually engaging video pitch that effectively communicated their message and vision.

The Industreel Approach to EIC Accelerator Video Pitches

At Industreel, we believe that every video pitch should be as unique as the innovation it represents. Our approach is tailored to your specific needs and the demands of the EIC Accelerator programme. Here’s how we can help:

1. Understanding Your Vision

Before we start filming, we take the time to understand your project, your goals, and your vision for the future. This involves in-depth discussions about your innovation, the problem it solves, its market potential, and your business model. By understanding the nuances of your project, we can craft a video pitch that accurately reflects your message and resonates with the EIC panel.

2. On-Site Filming in Industrial Environments

We specialise in filming within industrial, corporate, and manufacturing environments across the UK. Whether your business operates in a bustling factory, a high-tech laboratory, or a cutting-edge R&D facility, we have the expertise to capture the essence of your work environment. Our team is experienced in navigating these settings, ensuring that we capture high-quality footage while minimising disruption to your operations.

3. Capturing High-Quality B-Roll Footage

B-roll footage plays a crucial role in enhancing your video pitch. It provides visual context to the information presented in the interview and helps to keep the viewer engaged. During on-site filming, we focus on capturing a diverse range of B-roll footage that complements your narrative. This could include:

  • Manufacturing Processes: Footage of machines in operation, assembly lines, or workers handling materials, showcasing the scale and sophistication of your production capabilities.
  • Product Demonstrations: Close-up shots of your product in use or during testing phases, highlighting its features and unique selling points.
  • Team Collaboration: Shots of your team working together, which can underscore the collaborative spirit and expertise driving your innovation.
  • Facility Overview: Wide shots of your facility, offering a sense of the physical environment in which your innovation is developed.
4. Expert Editing and Post-Production

Once filming is complete, our team of skilled editors will craft your footage into a cohesive and compelling video pitch. We focus on creating a narrative that is clear, concise, and persuasive, ensuring that your key messages are effectively communicated within the EIC’s strict time limits. Our post-production process includes:

  • Interview Editing: We carefully edit the interview to highlight the most important points, ensuring that your message is delivered with clarity and impact.
  • Integrating B-Roll: The B-roll footage is seamlessly integrated into the narrative, adding depth and visual interest to your pitch.
  • Sound Design and Music: We ensure that the audio is crisp and clear, with appropriate sound design and music to enhance the emotional impact of the video.
  • Graphics and Text Overlays: If required, we can include graphics, text overlays, or animations to illustrate key concepts or data points, making your pitch more accessible and engaging.
5. Delivery in EIC-Approved Formats

The final video will be delivered in formats that meet the EIC Accelerator’s submission guidelines. We ensure that your video is ready for upload with the correct resolution, aspect ratio, and file size, so you can focus on the other aspects of your application.
