The new Innovation Fund Call 2024

At Euro-Funding, we are organizing a webinar to present the key aspects of the new Innovation Fund 2024 Call. This event will cover the highlights of the different funding streams, feature insights from leading experts in Europe’s energy sector, and showcase a success story we supported in the 2023 call.

New Call 2024 Highlights

• Multibillion €Bn Call for small, medium, and large-scale projects under the standard grant Innovation scheme.
• New subcall focusing on batteries.
• 2nd Renewable Hydrogen Auction of the Hydrogen Bank worth €1200M.

Two days after the release of the new Innovation Fund (IF) call, our webinar will summarise the main features of the primary streams of the new IF Call in one comprehensive hour and a half. We will bring you key EU stakeholders of the energy system and a practical, successful example Euro-Funding has accompanied for the 2023 call.
