EIT Food launches Biotech Innovation Call 2025

Published on | 1 month ago

Programmes Agro-Food, Environment EIT

The EIT Food is one of the nine knowledge and innovation communities supported by the European Institute of Innovation and Technology (EIT). They have now launched the Biotech Innovation Call that invites applications for funding projects. The proposal should address one or both of the following challenges:

  • Design sustainable Downstream Processing to increase energy/water savings;
  • Develop Real-time Process Monitoring and Control technologies.

The EIT food is particularly interested in the following type of initiatives, that address the two above-mentioned challenges:

  • new R&D and commercialisation projects with good prospects of getting to market within 12 months.
  • existing research project teams who have a commercialisation or impact plan that needs follow-on funding to get to market. These do not have to be previous EIT Food projects – we can support projects previously funded by other EIT organisations, EU programmes and third-party funders – but projects currently receiving EU funding for the same activity are not eligible.
  • projects that develop and market new applications and business models for existing technology. This includes transferring proven technology from other sectors into the food industry. Run scale-up activities for high impact products or services that already have promising results.

The estimated budget is about 3 million euros and the envisaged maximum amount per project is about 400k euros. There will be a webinar on the 9th of october to answer all questions and for more details, visit this official webpage
