Programmes EIC EIE EIT Horizon EuropeA key deliverable of the EU Startup and Scaleup Strategy, the European Innovation Act, has the aim to facilitate bringing innovative ideas to market across all sectors, to address challenges in commercialising research results, to strengthen collaboration between the industry and the academia, and to improve access of innovative companies to markets, finance, talent and infrastructures.
A call for evidence and a public consultation are open for contributions until 30 September 2025 on Commission's 'Have your Say' portal.
The survey gives stakeholders a chance to share their views, in particular on possible measures and how the initiative can help facilitate the establishment and growth of innovative companies in the European Union and enhance the diffusion of innovation across the EU Single Market.
We offer news and event updates, covering all domains and topics of Horizon Europe, Digital Europe & EDF (and occasionally, for ongoing projects, Horizon 2020).
Stay informed about what matters to you.

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.
