Transition Pathway for the Chemical Industry: Commission publishes guidance on funding to support the twin transition

Today, the European Commission published its Guidance on EU Funding for the co-implementation of the Transition Pathway of the Chemical Industry. The document aims to support chemical companies, especially SMEs, in finding opportunities to finance projects for the green and digital transition, such as investments in renewables and safe and sustainable chemicals. 

The guide highlights the main EU funding programmes to transform the chemical industry and provides examples of supported initiatives. These include, for instance, Horizon Europe, the Innovation Fund, Invest EU, and the Digital Europe Programme. The document also lists relevant open calls for the chemical industry, outlining the type of projects supported, who can apply and by when.

The Commission intends to update this guide in the upcoming months as soon as new calls for proposals are published on the Commission's Funding and Tender Portal.
