Description

On 3 December 2024, the European Commission launched the Innovation Fund 2024 Call and Battery calls, with a total budget of €3.4 billion. 

The general call for net-zero technologies worth €2.4 billion (IF24 Call) supports decarbonisation projects of different scale, as well as projects focusing on the manufacturing of components for renewable energy, energy storage, heat pumps, and hydrogen production, and pilots.

For the first time, a €1 billion call for electric vehicle battery cell manufacturing (IF24 Battery) will support projects that can produce innovative electric vehicles battery cells or deploy innovative manufacturing techniques, processes and technologies.

You can find all information and documentation related to the two calls on the Funding & Tenders Portal, including the call text and application forms.
