EIC Pathfinder Challenge: Advanced Materials for Miniaturised Energy Harvesting Systems
Supports developing advanced materials for miniaturised energy harvesters to power IoT and sensor networks autonomously.
The EIC Pathfinder Challenge: Advanced Materials for Miniaturised Energy Harvesting Systems is a targeted deep-tech research grant issued by the European Innovation Council under the Horizon Europe framework. It sits within the 2026 EIC Pathfinder Challenges track, which carries a combined budget of €96 million across three predefined thematic challenges, with this energy-harvesting challenge draw…
Development of a new generation of advanced materials to deliver miniaturised integrated energy harvesting devices with significantly enhanced performance compared to the state of the art, giving rise to highly effective energetically autonomous devices and systems. Supports the EC Communication "Advanced Materials for Industrial Leadership" and aims to power the projected ~10 trillion sensors by 2040 without battery-replacement burden.
