About This Opportunity

The call is open to companies, research organisations, and universities from 22 participating countries across Europe, Asia, and the Americas. Projects must involve international consortia and focus on innovative technologies with commercial potential. The program provides national funding through participating country agencies, with funding rates and amounts varying by country and organization type. This call represents an opportunity for organizations to collaborate on cutting-edge manufacturing and production technologies while receiving substantial government support for their research and development activities.
