After more than a hundred years of tempestuous growth, the Automotive sector is faced with several great challenges. Flights warm up the earth, inattentive drivers cause accidents, air pollution takes lives, the use of alternative fuels, inner cities and highways are congested. All these issues are an open invitation for meaningful, impactful innovation. We are at the beginning of a series of transitions in the Automotive industry. The EU and national governments are largely investing in research and innovation projects that contibute to these transitions, in particular on sustainability.

Changes come fast in the Automotive industry
The many challenges in the field of mobility have given rise to a lot of imagination and new ventures. Magnificent concept cars that turn a car into an autonomous meeting room and thus allow you to reclaim an otherwise lost hour of your day. Cars without air pollution, autonomous driving. Some of the concepts may sound a little gimmicky and several ideas may not be able to deliver on their promise, but make no mistake: change is coming in fast in mobility!
Grant opportunities for the Automotive industry
The biggest and fastest changes are currently becoming apparent in the automotive industry. With over € 54 billion annually, automotive is Europe’s biggest investor in innovation and R&D. Worldwide, Europe takes the lead: European car manufacturers make up for almost 50% of worldwide R&D investments. National governements are supporting their automotive industry, but the EU is the biggest funding body for innovation projects. Horizon Europe, Horizon Europe Cluster 5, CEF Transport, EIC Accelerator, EIC Pathfinder and Eurostars are some examples of grant schemes that support R&D in the field of automotive.
Automotive; not just companies
Obviously, it is not just companies that work towards tomorrow’s mobility. The public sector plays a huge role in shaping and guiding innovations. They stimulate private sector developments and enforce that innovative services, products and processes contribute to solving societal challenges like climate change, safety and security, health and accessibility. Innovation in automotive and mobility can therefore count on ample support in the form of regional, national and European grants.
