The ATI Programme Strategic Batch – September 2025 competition provides a route for organisations to put forward innovative aerospace research and development projects. The scheme is central to delivering the ATI’s vision of “Destination Zero,” supporting technologies that will enable the UK to lead in sustainable, ultra-efficient, and zero-emission aviation.

The European Innovation Council (EIC) Accelerator is a prestigious funding programme within Horizon Europe. It's designed for startups, SMEs, and individuals poised to launch a SME, including small mid-caps eligible solely for equity. This initiative targets entities with innovative products, services, or business models that have the potential to disrupt existing markets or create new ones globally. The EIC Accelerator offers both grants and equity investments to support the development and scale-up of high-risk innovations at Technology Readiness Levels (TRL) 5-9.

DRIVE35 is a UK government-backed funding programme supporting organisations working on technologies that advance clean, zero-emission transport and smart mobility systems. It offers targeted grants through three funding streams to help innovators at different maturity levels move their projects forward, from idea validation to demonstration and cross-sector collaboration.

The CELTIC-NEXT Autumn Call 2025 is now open, offering funding for collaborative R&D projects in cutting-edge ICT fields such as 6G, AI, cybersecurity, Industry 4.0, and more. Open to companies of all sizes, universities, and research organisations across more than 45 countries including the UK, CELTIC-NEXT supports projects that combine international cooperation with strong commercial potential. With its bottom-up approach, the programme gives you the freedom to choose your research topic, whether you are pursuing incremental improvements or breakthrough innovations.

The European Innovation Council (EIC) Pathfinder is one of Europe’s most ambitious funding programmes for cutting-edge research and innovation. It supports visionary ideas that can open entirely new fields of technology or create new markets, paving the way for solutions to the world’s biggest challenges.

Are you developing innovative technologies in the raw materials sector? EIT Raw Materials invites proposals for KAVA Call 13 – Upscaling, aiming to accelerate the commercialization of validated technologies in mining, materials processing, and recycling.

The Strategic Innovation Open Call, launched by EIT Urban Mobility on 19 June 2025, invites innovators across Europe to submit ambitious, market-critical proposals that address urgent urban mobility challenges. This multi-year initiative (2026–2028) aims to accelerate the deployment of solutions with a clear path to commercialization, scaling potential, and real-world impact.

The Digital Europe Programme (DIGITAL) is the EU’s flagship funding initiative designed to accelerate Europe’s digital transformation. Running from 2021 to 2027 with a budget of around €7.9 billion, it focuses on bringing digital technologies to businesses, citizens, and public administrations. Individual projects can avail a funding of €500,000 to €2 million, with bigger projects eligible for €10 million. Unlike research programmes such as Horizon Europe, DIGITAL is dedicated to deployment—supporting projects that can quickly deliver real-world solutions.

DASA are seeking proposals which provide field communication capabilities that are resistant to attack but continue to perform if degraded and are secure.

Funding to create more effective training environments through the use of simulation and synthetic environments which will enable more frequent training, greater challenge and greater availability.

DASA are looking for proposals which promote a shift from more traditional chains of command to more dynamic, lateral networks, with greater delegation of authority and allow exploitation of relevant information at speed.

This funding is to deliver the UK government’s Horizon Europe guarantee.
