EIC Horizon Europe

The European Commission has proposed a European Innovation Act aimed at helping innovative ideas move from research to market and scale across the EU. It was presented publicly on 9 September 2026.

The European Innovation Act, proposed by the European Commission, is presented as a key action under the EU Startup and Scaleup Strategy and the Competitiveness Compass for the EU. It aims to strengthen the Single Market for innovation by addressing two main barriers to commercial success:

  • Creating a harmonised EU framework for research and development procurement.
  • Creating an EU-wide framework for the valuation of intellectual property.

Target group: researchers, universities, research organisations, start-ups, scale-ups, SMEs, larger companies, investors, and public procurers.

STARGATE - Sustainable Aviation

The Stargate project obtained funding under the special Green Deal call of Horizon 2020, more in particular under the topic of “green ports and airports”.  It received the maximum score of the evaluators and was selected out of more than 40 projects. Stargate’s purpose is to prove that sustainable aviation is possible and happening. It focuses on the further decarbonization of the aviation industry, the improvement of local environmental quality and the stimulation of the modal split. Together with a consortium of 21 European partners with a diverse and rich expertise (airports, community partners, knowledge institutions, consultants, local governments, …), Brussels Airports takes the lead as lighthouse airport to develop and implement innovative solutions. Results that prove successful can be deployed at the fellow airports (Toulouse, Budapest, Athens). Over the course of the coming five years, the consortium will exchange knowledge to investigate and realize more than 30 concrete projects.
