ProgrammesAs mentioned in this news item of last week, EIT manufacturing asbl has filed for liquidation. The European Commission has given an update regarding this procedure, through its subsidiary, the European Institute of Innovation and Technology (EIT).
The view of the European Commission and EIT headquarters is that EIT Manufacturing ASBL is an independent private legal entity, and liabilities towards beneficiaries and third parties rest with that entity. Decisions regarding its future lie with its governing bodies and members, including ensuring sufficient funding for its activities. A liquidator has been appointed on 9 April.
However, they are particularly mindful of the impact of the current situation on start-ups and other beneficiaries of EIT Manufacturing ASBL. To support beneficiaries, the EIT has published a dedicated statement on its website and established a functional mailbox (beneficiarysupport@eit.europa.eu) to respond to queries.
Please note that the European Manufacturing Conference in september 2026 has already been fully cancelled.

The RUSTICA project obtained funding under Horizon 2020, more in particular under the topic ‘Closing nutrient cycles’. RUSTICA focuses on demonstration and implementation of circular bio-based nutrient valorisation chains, focusing on waste from the fruit and vegetable agro-food system. The project kicked off in 2021 and will run until 2024. It will use a strong multi-actor approach to co-create both socio-economic and technological knowledge in four case study regions in Europe and one in Colombia. The Flanders-based company DRANCO is one of the project partners and acts as technical project manager for the entire project. DRANCO participates in the project to develop its own technologies, to network and to help make the transition to a more circular based economy.
