Advanced manufacturing for key products
Funds around six projects, each worth EUR 6 to 8 million, to build manufacturing technology for components Europe risks losing to overseas suppliers.
This is a Horizon Europe Innovation Action topic under the co-programmed Made in Europe Partnership, with a EUR 38,000,000 budget for 2026 across about six expected grants of EUR 6,000,000 to EUR 8,000,000 each. Funded projects are expected to start at TRL 5 and reach TRL 7 by the end of the project. Proposals must include a business case and exploitation strategy, and the standard Part B page lim…
The Commission wants technology and machinery for manufacturing key components that are competitive, high-performing, and at risk of moving outside Europe or that depend on imported materials. Proposals should cut the use of critical raw materials and imported parts, using techniques such as additive manufacturing, advanced joining or surface treatment. International cooperation, particularly with Japan or Taiwan, is encouraged.
