Programmes Digital, Industry & Space Climate, Energy, Mobility Agro-Food, EnvironmentThe Clean Industrial Deal is described as "a bold business plan to support the competitiveness and resilience of our industry." It aims to boost production in green industries, with special focus on energy-intensive industries - vital for European material production and decarbonization goals.
The Deal presents measures to boost every stage of production, with a focus on energy-intensive industries (steel, metals, and chemicals, ...) and the clean tech sector. Another element of the Deal is circularity.
More specically, the Deal will be about:
The Clean Industrial Deal is strategically underpinned by Horizon Europe. Notably, the 2025 Work Programmes for Clusters 4 (Digital, Industry and Space), Cluster 5 (Climate, Energy and Mobility) and Cluster 6 (Food, Bioeconomy, Natural Resources, Agriculture & Environment) feature targeted call topics aligned with the Deal’s objectives.
A flagship joint call in the 2026–2027 Work Programme further strengthens this alignment, introducing two non-prescriptive topics (on clean tech and on clean industrial manufacturing) designed to foster cross-sector collaboration.
The initiative adopts an industry-led, bottom-up approach focused on value chain integration and deployment readiness. A key priority is the creation of synergies with existing innovation efforts to reinforce industrial ecosystems and accelerate time-to-market for critical technologies. Emphasis is placed on advancing high-impact decarbonization solutions from Technology Readiness Levels (TRL) 7 to 9, thereby building a robust pipeline of market-ready, industry-driven projects.

Security Digital, Industry & Space Digital Europe
In Digital Europe, knowledge of the underlying EU policies and legislations is a key element when drafting a proposal, as they play an important role in the “relevance” evaluation criterion. Also for Horizon Europe Cluster 3 (Cybersecurity) and Cluster 4 (Digital), this knowledge can be handy for applicants. To support... read more
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.
