About Innovation Fund:

The EU Innovation Fund is one of the world´s largest funding programmes for highly innovative technologies and flagship projects that can bring significant GHG emission reductions. It aims to help with the commercial-scale demonstration or first-of-a-kind commercial projects and pilots. The Innovation Fund is managed by CINEA – the EU Commission´s executive agency for programmes within energy, environment and climate.

 On 3 November 2022 the Innovation Fund launched a call for large-scale projects (projects with a capital expenditure above EUR 7.5 million) that is open until 16 March 2023 and targets innovative projects within following topics:

• Innovative electrification in industry and hydrogen
• Clean tech manufacturing (supporting manufacturing of components and final equipment such as electrolysers and fuel cells, innovative renewable equipment, energy storage, or heat pumps)
• “Mid-sized pilots” projects for validating, testing and optimising highly innovative solutions
• General decarbonization

Projects promoted need to be sufficiently mature in terms of planning, business model as well as financial and legal structure.
