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.

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.
