European projects

Innovation in Europe

In a European context, we collaborate on innovation: SMEs, large companies, research institutions, and public authorities can participate in European projects and benefit from European funding.

We actively screen open calls and encourage Flemish companies to get involved.

Why participate?

Access to co-funding for groundbreaking innovations
Networking with European partners
Anchoring knowledge at the European level

For whom?

SMEs, large companies, research institutes and public organisations.

How to participate?

A European project starts with an idea that fits within a European open call, for example under Horizon Europe or Eureka.

As a Project Partner

You can participate as a project partner by joining a European consortium of organizations that intend to submit a project proposal under an open call.

Online, you can find platforms that connect supply and demand, such as:

As a Project Coordinator

You can also participate as a project coordinator by completing the official application template for an open call and forming a consortium of project partners.
For most companies, this is the most challenging route — unless they already have substantial experience and an extensive European network.

What does Flanders Make do for me?

We have built a strong network within the European innovation landscape, allowing us to quickly connect you with the right partners and institutions.

In addition, we have extensive experience in submitting projects within a European context, and we can therefore provide you with expert support throughout the process.
