The EIT Food is one of the nine knowledge and innovation communities supported by the European Institute of Innovation and Technology (EIT). They have now launched the Biotech Innovation Call that invites applications for funding projects. The proposal should address one or both of the following challenges: Design sustainable Downstream Processing to increase energy/water savings; Develop Real-time Process Monitoring and Control technologies. The EIT food is particularly interested in the following type of initiatives, that address the two above-mentioned challenges: new R&D and commercialisation projects with good prospects of getting to market within 12 months. existing research project teams who have a commercialisation or impact plan that needs follow-on funding to get to market. These do not have to be previous EIT Food projects – we can support projects previously funded by other EIT organisations, EU programmes and third-party funders – but projects currently receiving EU funding for the same activity are not eligible. projects that develop and market new applications and business models for existing technology. This includes transferring proven technology from other sectors into the food industry. Run scale-up activities for high impact products or services that already have promising results. The estimated budget is about 3 million euros and the envisaged maximum amount per project is about 400k euros. There will be a webinar on the 9th of october to answer all questions and for more details, visit this official webpage

This international call invites cutting-edge AI-driven startups to pioneer solutions across several key themes in the “future of manufacturing”, including industrial and generative AI, digital ecosystem integration, circular economy and resilient supply chains. With a focus that ranges from environmental issues to the ethical deployment of AI, the initiative encourages startups to address real-world industrial needs. The call deadline is the 3rd of november 2025 and more information can found here.
2025-10-02 Climate, Energy, Mobility EITWhat is it about ? The European institute of innovation and technology (EIT) has nine independant subdivisions called knowledge and innovation communites (KIC). They are a group made up of partners from business, academia and research (innovation) and are funded by the European Union. They regularly launch calls to stimulate new businesses and develop talented people. The InnoNext Call by EIT Climate-KIC aims to achieve those goals by supporting start-ups and talented EIT graduates that can deliver innovative solutions for pressing climate issues. It is an initiative in collaboration with the European Innovation Council. It opens fresh opportunities for EIT Community members to participate in fully funded Innovation Internships across Europe. Through this platform, graduates from EIT Label programmes and EIT-supported startups can access tailored placements that connect academic talent with business needs. Who can take part ? a) talents Students in (and graduates from) EIT Label Masters and Doctoral programmes EIT Alumni member Participants from other postdoctoral training programmes supported by the EIT Community b) startups and SMEs Startups and SMEs supported by the EIT Community and its business creation services Businesses founded with support from Knowledge and Innovation Communities (KICs) Companies that have partnered with KICs for innovation activities Startups or scale-ups with at least one co-founder who is an EIT Alumni member You can apply for this programme at the bottom of this website.
2025-10-02 Health Digital, Industry & Space Climate, Energy, Mobility EIT AI ContinentThe European Institute of Innovation and Technology (EIT) works to promote innovation across Europe by connecting businesses, education, and research. It focuses on addressing societal challenges through technology and entrepreneurship. The EIT has set-up multiple communities which aim at cross-sectoral fertilisation of ideas. One of the newest additions is the EIT AI community. To foster bold ideas, this community has now launched The AI Challenge 2025 allowing teams to compete in creating innovative AI applications that can tackle various issues. There is at the same time a call out to cities, corporates, public institutions and other stakeholders to submit their pressing data- and AI-related challenges so this is really a call that works in both directions. This should result in a matchmaking engine to put Europe's brightest minds to work on your most complex problems! For more information on the challenge and how to participate, visit the official page.
2025-10-02 EIT MissionsThe PCP-WISE buyersgroup consists of 12 contracting authorities (Grenspark Kalmthoutse Heide being one of them). They have now launched a Pre-commercial procurement call and invite companies and research institutions to submit their tender. Unlike other tendering procedures, the purpose of this call is to jointly develop with the contracting authority the final product or service after the contract is awarded. In this respect, the aim of this PCP call is to create innovative, Earth Observation based tools that can better monitor the soil-water-vegetation system in order to prevent and manage floodings, fires and other disasters. It will run in three phases and the final product and service will be used in the territories of the twelve authorities. Deadline for submission: 7 January 2026, 17:00 CET More info: Call for Tenders – PCP WISE

Autoship is, as the name suggests, an acronym for autonomous ship. Just like with self-driving cars, the possibilities of an unmanned boat seem endless. It can create more efficient freight transport, around the clock deliveries and these are just a few of the examples. The project has two societal challenges.
At first, De Vlaamse Waterweg was a bit hesitant as their experience with FP7 or Horizon 2020 projects was limited and they had not been very successful up until then. The fact that they were already doing basic research on the topic of autonomous boats, and the administrative help of NCP FLanders helped De Vlaamse waterweg to cross the line and get involved.
