This partnership is new and was officially launched on 9 October 2025. It will increase sustainable agriculture in the EU and improve policy monitoring and implementation by using digital and data technologies. The partnership will also generate EU-wide data sets and information through combining geospatial and Earth observation datasets for the agricultural sector.
It is set to operate for at least seven years with a planned budget of €300 million, 30% co-funded by the EU.
You can find the overview of the envisaged Research and Innovation topics in the Strategic Research and Innovation Agenda which dates back to 2023.

The UNCHAIN project, ‘urban logistics and planning: anticipating urban freight generation and demand including digitalisation of urban freight’ obtained funding from the Horizon Europe’s Mobility Cluster. The project focuses on breaking down data silos and promoting public-private data exchange across a unified European mobility data space, enabling more informed decisions and greater efficiency. The City of Mechelen is a partner in the project and takes on the role of ‘follower city’: it will work alongside the primary demonstration sites (in Madrid, Berlin and Florence) to maximize the geographical coverage and replicability of solutions across Europe. Mechelen aims to test 2 concrete solutions in the UNCHAIN project, with the aim to help addressing its current and future challenges in urban freight distribution.
