Is your innovation the next step forward in key enabling technologies? Horizon Europe‘s Cluster 4 supports projects that reduce Europe’s dependency on foreign technology and materials, and that help transform industry, the labour market and society at large.
The cluster covers a broad range of themes, including artificial intelligence, data and robotics, advanced manufacturing, next-generation materials, critical raw materials, digital infrastructure, and space technologies. Whether you’re developing smarter production processes, more sustainable materials, or digital solutions that make European industry more resilient, Cluster 4 offers a route to substantial EU funding.
Why it matters
Europe needs a strong industrial and technological base to remain competitive globally, safeguard its citizens, and protect its economic model and values. Projects funded under Cluster 4 typically bring together partners from research, industry and end-users across several EU member states, combining technical excellence with a clear path to real-world impact.
Funding levels are substantial: projects are usually funded at 70% (innovation-focused projects) to 100% (research-focused projects) of eligible costs, often for multi-million-euro consortium projects.
Is Cluster 4 right for your project?
Given the breadth of the programme and the number of calls that open each year, it’s worth checking early whether your innovation fits and which specific call offers the best chance of success. Our specialists follow every Cluster 4 call closely and can help you assess fit, build a strong consortium, and prepare a competitive proposal.
