ProgrammesAs mentioned in this news item of last week, EIT manufacturing asbl has filed for liquidation. The European Commission has given an update regarding this procedure, through its subsidiary, the European Institute of Innovation and Technology (EIT).
The view of the European Commission and EIT headquarters is that EIT Manufacturing ASBL is an independent private legal entity, and liabilities towards beneficiaries and third parties rest with that entity. Decisions regarding its future lie with its governing bodies and members, including ensuring sufficient funding for its activities. A liquidator has been appointed on 9 April.
However, they are particularly mindful of the impact of the current situation on start-ups and other beneficiaries of EIT Manufacturing ASBL. To support beneficiaries, the EIT has published a dedicated statement on its website and established a functional mailbox (beneficiarysupport@eit.europa.eu) to respond to queries.
Please note that the European Manufacturing Conference in september 2026 has already been fully cancelled.

The Stargate project obtained funding under the special Green Deal call of Horizon 2020, more in particular under the topic of “green ports and airports”. It received the maximum score of the evaluators and was selected out of more than 40 projects. Stargate’s purpose is to prove that sustainable aviation is possible and happening. It focuses on the further decarbonization of the aviation industry, the improvement of local environmental quality and the stimulation of the modal split. Together with a consortium of 21 European partners with a diverse and rich expertise (airports, community partners, knowledge institutions, consultants, local governments, …), Brussels Airports takes the lead as lighthouse airport to develop and implement innovative solutions. Results that prove successful can be deployed at the fellow airports (Toulouse, Budapest, Athens). Over the course of the coming five years, the consortium will exchange knowledge to investigate and realize more than 30 concrete projects.
