Together with its research partner TNO Netherlands, the European Sustainable Business Federation - Ecopreneur.eu - aims to get green small and medium size companies (SMEs) ready in their starting blocks for forthcoming HORIZON EU funded research and innovation projects. The new Horizon programme runs from 2021 until 2027 and has a budget of about EUR 95,5 billion. 

Ecopreneur.eu invites interested SMEs to fill in a 5-minute online questionnaire in order to express their interest in participating in a consortium that would be ready to respond to HORIZON EU calls as soon as they get published. 

Depending on each SME's specific capabilities and interest, consortium partners will jointly write research proposals to promote a European circular economy and the European Green Deal. By joining forces with TNO Netherlands, Ecopreneur.eu aims to significantly increase the chances for SMEs to obtain EU funding. 

Companies can express their interest here. For any further questions, please contact Michael Laermann, Policy Officer at Ecopreneur.eu.
