Programmes Horizon Europe Digital Europe Defence

The European Commisson has adopted two strategies with the aim of driving adoption in key industries and putting Europe at the forefront of AI-driven science.

Apply AI Strategy

The Apply AI Strategy sets out how to speed up the use of AI in Europe's key industries and the public sector. It aims to make use of AI's transformative potential by promoting the adoption of AI across strategic and public sectors including healthcare, pharmaceuticals, energy, mobility, manufacturing, construction, agri-food, defence, communications and culture. It will also support small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) with their specific needs and help industries integrate AI into their operations.

Concrete measures include establishing AI-powered advanced screening centres for healthcare and supporting the development of frontier models and agentic AI tailored to sectors such as manufacturing, environment and pharmaceuticals.

AI in Science Strategy

Alongside Apply AI, the AI in Science Strategy positions the EU as a hub for AI-driven scientific innovation. At its centre is RAISE - the Resource for AI Science in Europe, a virtual European institute to pool and coordinate AI resources for developing AI and applying it in science. It aims to advance the responsible and strategic integration of artificial intelligence (AI) technologies into the European research and innovation landscape by

  • supporting the uptake of AI across all disciplines
  • accelerating discoveries and breakthroughs
  • addressing major societal challenges
  • boosting innovation, job and growth

RUSTICA - Converting organic residues into bio-based fertiliser products

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.
