A total of three million euros in funding is available, with up to 400,000 euros per project possible. We are looking for initiatives that can be transferred from research to application within twelve months. Teams that adapt existing technologies for the food industry or develop new business models for already validated approaches are particularly in demand. The competition is open to companies and research institutions from all EU Member States and Horizon Europe partner countries. Projects will start in February 2026 and applications can be submitted until 17 November 2025. The call aims to bring Europe's biotech innovations to the market in a targeted manner.
