🌍 1. Green Transition: accelerating sustainability efforts

One of the most critical pillars of Horizon Europe’s 2025 agenda is its commitment to the Green Transition. As part of the European Green Deal, the EU aims to achieve climate neutrality by 2050, which translates into increased funding for projects focused on:

• Decarbonization and renewable energy.

💻 2. Digital Transition: driving innovation through technology

The digital revolution remains a key focus for Horizon Europe in 2025. The EU is investing heavily in areas that enhance technological competitiveness and foster a digitally skilled workforce. Key funding areas include:

• Artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning.
• Cybersecurity and digital infrastructure.
• Smart manufacturing and Industry 5.0.

How Contactica helps:

In light of global health crises and economic challenges, Horizon Europe is prioritizing projects that promote societal resilience and inclusive growth. This means greater funding opportunities in areas like:

• Public health and medical innovation.
• Economic resilience and social equity.
