The Euroclusters open call invites collaborative cluster initiatives to support the recovery and resilience of Europe’s industrial ecosystems. The key goal of this call for proposals is to support innovation and adoption of new processes and advanced technologies for strategic autonomy, to build capacity in the most critical areas of the relevant ecosystem(s) and to reinforce transformation into a greener, more digital, and resilient economy.

Actual call strands:

• Strand 1 focuses on net-zero technologies and critical raw materials: this strand covers value chains within or across industrial ecosystems aiming at ensuring access to a secure and sustainable supply of net-zero technologies, including by scaling up the manufacturing capacity of net-zero technologies and safeguarding supply chain resilience or/and at starting or expanding the extraction, processing or recycling of strategic raw materials, or the production and scale-up of materials that can substitute strategic raw materials in strategic technologies;
• Strand 2 covers value chains not covered in Strand 1

Each project application must address only one of these two strands.

Supported EU strategies:

• New Industrial Strategy for Europe
• SME Strategy for a sustainable and digital Europe
• Green Deal Industrial Plan for the Net-Zero Age and its initiatives (Critical Raw Materials and Net-Zero Industry Acts),
• European Economic Security Strategy.
