Join us for our annual IPCEI conference
From 2018 to 2024, Important Projects of Common European Interest (IPCEIs) have directed €37 billion in public funding toward cross-border innovation – funding R&D, first industrial deployment, and infrastructure projects – in areas such as microelectronics, batteries, hydrogen, cloud and pharmaceuticals. In November 2024, the European Commission and EU Member States have shortlisted four new IPCEIs to be started in 2025 – covering advanced materials, edge computing, AI services, and semiconductor technologies. Other candidates are still under assessment, such as biotechnologies, critical raw materials, clean, connected and autonomous vehicles, nuclear, carbon capture use and storage.
european economics, a recognised pure-player consultancy in State aid, has a unique proven track record in IPCEIs: We supported more than 100 companies in the ten IPCEIs starting 2018, helping them secure more than €15 billion in direct grants.
Marc ISABELLE, Founder & CEO of european economics, will provide insights into the following key topics:
- What is an IPCEI?
- Who are the key players and what are their roles?
- What are the key milestones in the process?
- What is the expected timeline?
- What types of projects can receive funding?
- How much funding can be obtained?
european economics is pleased to welcome for this event:
