Published on | 1 hour ago

Programmes Digital, Industry & Space

The EuroHPC Joint Undertaking (EuroHPC JU) has launched a new call for proposals inviting European quantum computing startups to develop integrated hardware–software quantum computing solutions with strong market potential.

The call will be implemented in two phases:

  • Phase 1 (Horizon Europe grant) will target European quantum start-ups to receive financial support over a four month period to develop a technical and financial roadmap, complemented by proofs of principle or preliminary prototypes. 
  • Phase 2 (InvestEU programme): The most promising projects from Phase 1 will be invited to submit proposals to the European Investment Bank (EIB) under the InvestEU initiative. The selected European start-ups may then receive a tailored long-term EIB Venture Debt facility to scale their technologies toward market-ready, industrial applications.

The call for Phase 1 closes on 8 January 2026. Applications for Phase 1 must be submitted via the EU Funding & Tenders Portal. More details can be found on this dedicated webpage

After the completion of Phase 1, participants will directly apply to the EIB Venture Debt Platform to receive financing under Phase 2.

More information can be found on the EuroHPC JU's website.

BEAT-AF - Ground-Breaking Electroporation-based intervention for Atrial Fibrillation treatment

The Horizon2020 project BEAT-AF brings together 9 European renowned clinical centres in France, Belgium, Czechia, Germany and Austria. Together, the consortium strives to revolutionize Atrial Fibrillation (AF) treatment through catheter ablation and contribute to decrease the huge burden of AF in Europe. The BEAT-AF project kicked off in 2021 and will run until 2026. The department of electrophysiology of the AZ Sint-Jan Hospital in Bruges is partner in the project and has so far contributed to the pre-clinical development, the first in man studies and first registries of the revolutionary AF treatment put forward by the consortium. The first pilot studies show that the treatment is safe, effective and efficient.
