What's Happening?
The Enterprise Europe Network has facilitated a strategic networking event in Brussels to support organizations and researchers in forming consortiums for Horizon Europe Cluster 6 funding calls. The CARE4BIO Brokerage Event focused on areas such as food,
bioeconomy, natural resources, agriculture, and the environment. The event aimed to help companies and SMEs identify partners for high-impact research proposals. The Horizon Europe Work Programme for 2026-2027 includes various funding routes, with deadlines for proposals in spring and autumn 2026. The initiative is part of the EU's efforts to promote sustainable development and innovative governance aligned with the European Green Deal.
Why It's Important?
These funding opportunities are crucial for advancing research and innovation in agriculture and natural resources, sectors vital for sustainable development. By supporting projects that align with the European Green Deal, the EU aims to foster a transition to more sustainable food systems and industrial practices. This initiative could lead to significant advancements in environmental protection, biodiversity, and the circular economy. For U.S. stakeholders, understanding these developments is important as they may influence global market trends and regulatory standards, potentially affecting international trade and collaboration in these sectors.
