Challenge-Driven GenAI4EU Booster in Apply AI prioritised sectors

Pays three European consortia EUR 15 million each to run generative-AI competitions in aerospace, pharma or telecoms, re-granting up to EUR 2 million per finalist SME team that competes.

Consortia apply under the Research and Innovation Action route; the Commission funds three projects, one per sector, each receiving EUR 15 million. Each consortium then distributes EUR 5 million as EUR 250,000 grants to 20 Stage 1 winners, and EUR 8 million as EUR 2,000,000 grants to the 4 Stage 2 finalists — so an SME wanting the prize money applies to the consortium's own open call, not to this
