Advanced Manufacturing grants in Germany

Closed

Funds four €7.1M projects that make battery electrode materials cleaner to produce — via greener refining or plant-based sourcing instead of mined graphite.

Closed

Funds eight €15–25M lump-sum projects that turn carbon capture, clean energy and circular production ideas into market-ready industrial demonstrations.

Closed

Funds €15–25M lump-sum projects led by industry to mature energy, power, storage, fuels or CCU solutions from TRL 6 to market-ready deployment.

Closed

Funds two €9M projects that capture a factory's own waste heat and put it back into the process, proven at a live plant and built for EU-wide reuse.

Closed

Funds one €93M wind-energy project — split across breakthrough R&D, technology validation, and at least three real-world demonstrations.

Closed

Funds development of tests and methods that verify how durable, repairable and recyclable a product actually is, for one of seven priority product groups.

Closed

Funds pilot production lines and recycling demonstrations that scale up integrated PV (building, vehicle and agri-PV) technologies to market.

Closed

Connects research teams and institutions for Innovation Fund Heat Auction in climate technology, energy systems, and manufacturing.

Closed

Funds first-of-a-kind low-carbon technology demonstrations in energy storage, industry, carbon capture, mobility, and renewables.

Closed

Pays organisations up to EUR 25,000 to design and run a short innovation study-tour programme.

Closed

Funds around five projects, each worth up to EUR 6 million, to develop fast-curing, recyclable coatings and sealants for manufacturing lines.

Closed

Funds demonstrations of new wind-turbine manufacturing methods that raise safety, cut costs and boost European production capacity.

Closed

Funds industrial consortia that develop remanufacturing technology and processes to double the volume of remanufactured components made in the EU.

Closed

Funds research into combining multiple renewable energy carriers — electricity, hydrogen, solar heat — at industrial sites to cope with supply fluctuations.

Closed

Funds companies and researchers that build and demonstrate at scale new circular business models — reuse, repair, sharing, product-as-a-service.

Closed

Funds open-topic solutions — from AI tools to new business models — that help SMEs cut resource use and comply with green-transition rules.

Closed

Funds industry-academia consortia that refine and scale up the manufacturing process for one class of cell or gene therapy, from quality control through to deployment.

Closed

Funds around nine projects, each worth EUR 5 to 8 million, to recover secondary raw materials from industrial waste and end-of-use products.

Closed

Funds a physical demonstration that phases out fossil fuel from a heating-heavy industrial process using local renewable energy integration.

Closed

Funds research into wearable and cognitive augmentation technology that supports factory workers and makes manufacturing jobs safer and more human-centric.

Closed

Funds retrofitting an existing industrial or biorefinery plant to produce higher-value bio-based chemicals or materials than its old process line.

Closed

Funds talent-building and policy-overview work for the steel sector's near-zero-carbon transition, alongside the Research Fund for Coal & Steel's steel research topics.

Closed

Funds workshops, conferences and knowledge-sharing that support steel-sector research and the just transition of steel communities.

Closed

Funded large-scale pilot and demonstration steel-recycling and residue-valorisation projects reaching TRL 7-8, tied to the EU's Clean Industrial Deal.
