The European Commission adopted the 2025 work programme of the European Innovation Council. It opens funding opportunities worth over €1.4 billion for strategic technologies and scaling up companies.
The European Innovation Council and SMEs Executive Agency (EISMEA) placed biotech as core technology for Europe Platform in their latest 2025 EIC Work Programme.
EuropaBio – the European Association for Bioindustries welcomes the Programme as part of a long-term vision to set an ambitious and competitive European biotech ecosystem. An integrated approach from early research to access to the market is more than needed for biotech and biomanufacturing applications. EuropaBio looks towards the future EU biotechAct to complement these financing efforts and ensure the EU environment supports the development and deployment of biotech innovation.
