The LLM-BRIDGE Consortium has launched its first open call for the 2027 Acceleration Programme. Sixteen market-ready European companies developing generative AI or language technology solutions will be selected for a 14-week programme focused on investment readiness and market expansion.

Led by 28DIGITAL with ALT-EDIC, ADRA and other consortium partners, the programme is co-funded by the EU Digital Europe Programme. It falls within the overall framework of the European Institute of Innovation and Technology (EIT).

Eligible applicants must be established in an EU Member State or a country associated with the Digital Europe Programme. They should have a commercially active solution at TRL 8–9 and be preparing to scale towards Series A funding. Selected companies will receive free business and technical advice, access to European high-performance computing infrastructure, regulatory guidance, investor-readiness support and networking opportunities.

The programme will be delivered online, with in-person attendance required only for the Investor Roundtable Summit, tentatively planned alongside Wolves Summit in April 2027. At least one founding team member must commit sufficient time throughout the programme.

Applications can be submitted through the online application form. Full conditions are available in the official open call document. An online information webinar is scheduled to take place on 16 October 2026 from 14:00 to 15:00 CET. The application deadline is 18 November 2026.

PBNv2 - a MSCA ITN in the field of automotive R&D

The Marie Skłodowska-Curie Action (MSCA) European Innovative Training Network “PBNv2 - Next generation Pass-By Noise approaches for new powertrain vehicles” started in May 2017. Their research has the shared objective of investigating the possibilities to decrease pass-by noise of vehicles.

The project is a collaboration between 17 research institutions and companies in the European automotive R&D and provides a learning environment for 14 PhD fellows. The Belgian partner is the Noise and Vibration Research Group of KU Leuven, and this project is one of the many Horizon 2020 MSCA Innovative Training Networks that the KU Leuven research group participates in.
