The primary focus is to create sustainable energy solutions in all aspects of production, through enhancing collaboration among the three pillars of the knowledge triangle and fostering innovation that can be embraced by the market.
EIT InnoEnergy concentrates on the following thematic fields:
If you are an innovator with a promising technology or service aligned with any of these eight thematic fields, you can apply to join the ecosystem. Among other benefits, joining the ecosystem allows exposure and access to a venture capital community.
EIT InnoEnergy not only provides funding possibilities, but also assists in making your product or service market-ready, transforming it into a viable business.
Additionally, EIT InnoEnergy has an education pillar focused on training workers who will operate in these innovative areas, called InnoEnergy Skills Institute.
With the e-mobility future in mind, EIT InnoEnergy partnered with European Battery Alliance to establish an upskill and reskill programme: EBA Academy.
There are regular announcements for calls for proposals for different programs (EIT, EIC, third party calls for proposals, ...). To explore the opportunities and stay updated with the latest news, please visit the innovation community's webpage.
The EIT InnoEnergy community has several regional innovation hubs, including one based in Genk. If you wish to contact them, you can reach out via email at benelux@innoenergy.com.
Finally, for any inquiries related to energy, you can contact the National Contact Point (NCP) at ria.debreucker@vlaio.be.
Partnerships group the EC and private and/or public partners, to coordinate and streamline the research & innovation initiatives and funding in some selected key domains.

The Miricle project, ‘Mine Risk Clearance for Europe’, obtained funding under the European Defence Industrial Development programme call ‘Underwater control contributing to resilience at sea’. The main objective of the project was to achieve a European and sovereign capacity in future mine warfare and create a path for the next generation ‘made in Europe’ countermeasure solutions. In order to realise this objective, Miricle addressed various stages: studies, design, prototyping and testing. These stages inter alia included the successful testing of an XL Unmanned Underwater Vehicle, a protototyped mine disposal system and multiple innovative systems to detect buried mines. Flanders Marine Institute (VLIZ), was one of the five Belgian partners in the consortium. Within the project, VLIZ was able to forward its research on the acoustic imaging of the seabed to spatially map and visualize buried structures and objects - in this case buried mines - in the highest possible detail. VLIZ also led the work on ‘Port and Offshore Testing’, building on the expertise of the institute in the field of marine operations and technology.
