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.

MareGraph - Towards an Interoperable Marine Knowledge Graph

The MareGraph project, ‘Towards an Interoperable Marine Knowledge Graph’, obtained funding under the Digital Europe topic ‘OPEN-AI – Public Sector Open Data for AI and Open Data Platform’. The project will increase the semantic, technical, and legal interoperability of three selected high-valued datasets (HVDs) all maintained by the Flanders Marine Institute (VLIZ), which is one of the four partners of the project. This will allow the onboarding of essential marine datasets in the Common European Data Spaces. As such MareGraph will provide a structural component in the digital transition of the marine landscape. The numerous impacts of the project will benefit our seas globally in old and new ways to come.
