NCP Flanders is conducting a short satisfaction survey to gather valuable feedback and suggestions on the NCP services. The survey is organised into three sections: NCP Flanders assistance, info sessions, and NCP Flanders website & LinkedIn. If you are not familiar with one of these sections, the survey will automatically guide you to the next section. The survey is fully anonymous and will remain open until 24 July 2026. The NCP Flanders team would greatly appreciate it if you could take a few minutes to fill in the survey and provide your opinion via this link. If you would like to get in touch NCP Flanders, please mail to info@ncpflanders.be
EIT Health’s Innovation Uptake Call focuses on mature digital, data-driven and AI-powered solutions and seeks to support the last steps towards commercialisation. Applicants must apply as a consortium of at least two independent legal entities from different countries. The consortium must include partners from at least two sides of the Knowledge Triangle: industry, research and education. Projects must be led by a commercialising entity, either an SME or another industry player, responsible for bringing the solution to market. The maximum funding per project is €650,000 (total budget €5,2 million) and the grant may cover up to 50% of total project costs, so co-funding is required. Funded activities may include commercialisation pilots in real-world healthcare settings, usability testing and market adaptation, go-to-market strategy, business model validation and health economics analysis. The call was opened on 24 June 2026 and will close on 16 September 2026. An information session is scheduled for 15 July 2026 from 12:30 to 13:30 CET, and an open Q&A session for 1 September 2026 at 11:00 CET. More information is available on the website of the call. Background: The European institute of Innovation and Technology (EIT) stands at the crossroad of business creation, innovation and education. It consists of ten knowledge and innovation communities. The overall objective is to transform promising innovations into succesful companies.

Flemish companies active in biotechnology can apply to the Eureka Biotech Call for Innovation Projects, an international funding opportunity supporting collaborative research and innovation projects with partners from participating countries. Each country or region assesses and funds its own project partners. For Flanders, VLAIO participates through its regular support for research and development projects, in accordance with the applicable criteria.Through this Eureka call, Flanders aims to encourage companies to set up research and development projects in biotechnology fields such as medicine, bioinformatics, pharmaceutical products and services, life sciences, digitalisation and (bio)process technology (non-exhaustive list) – in collaboration with partners. Besides the joint Eureka application, Flemish participants must also submit a project proposal to VLAIO and are encouraged to contact VLAIO early for an eligibility check and proposal guidance. The Eureka submission deadline is 25 September 2026. The VLAIO proposal deadline is 9 October 2026 12:00 CEST. More information and details on the dedicated VLAIO webpage.

Funded under Horizon Europe (HORIZON-CL5-2022-D5-01-02), running from 2023 to 2026, AENEAS advanced the development of innovative electric energy storage solutions tailored for waterborne transport. The project has also created tools & platforms to support the optimal integration of new energy storage systems into vessels, assess their impact on overall system efficiency, and quantify potential reductions in greenhouse gas emissions. The project consortium, led by Flanders Make, consists of 14 partners from 8 countries. Read more about the project in this testimonial.
