THE INNOVATION FUND
The Innovation Fund (IF) will provide around €40 billion of support over 2021-2030 for the commercial demonstration of innovative low-carbon technologies, aiming to bring to the market industrial solutions to decarbonise Europe and support its transition to climate neutrality.

The Innovation Fund focuses on:
  • highly innovative technologies;
  • big flagship projects;
  • innovative low-carbon solutions;
  • small-scale projects that can bring on significant emission reductions.
Multiple calls of the Innovation Fund will be held regularly:
  • Large-scale projects: CAPEX more than € 7.5 Million: The first call launched on 3 July 2020, and the European Commission will open new calls in the second half of every year.
  • Small-scale projects: CAPEX less than € 7.5 Million: The first call launched on 1 December 2020. The European Commission will open new calls in the first half of every year.
HOW MUCH FUNDING CAN YOU GET FOR YOUR PROJECT?
The Innovation Fund has around a total of €40 Billion in funding opportunities by 2030.
