This cluster will try to stimulate European growth in the key areas of digital, industry & space and make sure most of its future production (entire value chain) will be happening in the EU so the member states become less dependent of third countries. Increased sustainability of the delivered products is at the heart of these efforts.
As a result, actions under this cluster will support key enabling technologies that are strategically important for Europe’s industrial future. They have selected 6 focus areas or destinations that reflect these strategic domains:
Areas of activity
Digital, Industry & Space Semiconductors
The Chips Joint Undertaking (Chips JU) has opened a new set of three interrelated calls for the set-up of a Pilot Line on Advanced Photonic Integrated Circuits: Call for Expression of Interest for the selection of a Hosting Consortium Call for proposals for Set-up, integration and process development, funded under theHorizon Europe Program... read more
Digital, Industry & Space Semiconductors
The European Union and the Republic of Korea announce support for four jointly funded projects in semiconductors as a deliverable of the EU-Republic of Korea Digital Partnership. The projects will advance heterogeneous integration technologies i.e. technologies combining multiple components onto one chip as well as neuromorphic computing technolog... read more
Digital, Industry & Space HPC AI, data & cloud
The FFPlus project has opened the first out of six round of open calls to set up experiments with supercomputers and to scale up generative AI applications. FFplus is a European initiative highlighting and promoting the adoption of High-Performance Computing (HPC) by SMEs and start-ups across Europe, showing the business benefits and im... read more

The RUSTICA project obtained funding under Horizon 2020, more in particular under the topic ‘Closing nutrient cycles’. RUSTICA focuses on demonstration and implementation of circular bio-based nutrient valorisation chains, focusing on waste from the fruit and vegetable agro-food system. The project kicked off in 2021 and will run until 2024. It will use a strong multi-actor approach to co-create both socio-economic and technological knowledge in four case study regions in Europe and one in Colombia. The Flanders-based company DRANCO is one of the project partners and acts as technical project manager for the entire project. DRANCO participates in the project to develop its own technologies, to network and to help make the transition to a more circular based economy.
