The Renew Europe Group in the European Parliament welcomed the European Parliament’s adoption of Horizon Europe on 27 April, which succeeds Horizon 2020 and spans from 2021 until 2027. With an ambitious €95.5 billion secured for this future-oriented EU research and innovation (R&I) programme, Horizon Europe is the world’s largest investment programme in R&I. The Renew Europe Group believes this programme will help generate post-pandemic growth, engage with more European industries and SMEs than ever before and help find sustainable solutions to tackle global challenges.  

Martina Dlabajovà MEP (ANO, CZ), Coordinator for the Industry, Research and Energy Committee and Shadow Rapporteur for the Horizon Europe Regulation, said:
“Horizon Europe is not just a major source of R&I financing, it is a great example of true European added value. We designed a complex, yet balanced structure that will unlock the breakthrough scientific discoveries of the next decade, while bringing innovative solutions to our market and re-shaping our economy and society. Its Industrial Partnerships will pool talent to deliver the technology of tomorrow, such as Quantum, Hydrogen, Artificial Intelligence and Space applications. SMEs will be part of this success story and I believe the new European Innovation Council will be a true game-changer!”
