Join an exciting in-person networking and information event to learn, connect and discuss the Horizon Europe collaborative research and innovation opportunities for energy intensive industries.

Overview

The transition to a climate-neutral Europe by 2050 is one of the most ambitious goals ever set by the EU, particularly for energy-intensive industries like the foundation industries. While significant strides have been made, many of the tools needed to achieve these targets are still under development. The Transforming Foundation Industries (TFI) Challenge has been at the forefront of this change, developing new technologies that are reshaping value chains and creating new opportunities.

With a €280 million Horizon Europe funding call expected to open in 2025 for energy-intensive industries, preparing now is more important than ever. The TFI Horizon Europe Insight Day is an exclusive, closed-door event designed to equip you with the knowledge, connections, and strategies you need to successfully navigate this complex funding landscape.
