The HORIZON-CL4-INDUSTRY-2025-01-TWIN-TRANSITION-05 call aims to advance manufacturing technologies to strengthen the EU’s leadership in producing high-value, strategic products for the net-zero industry. Under the "Made in Europe" partnership, this initiative focuses on developing innovative manufacturing processes that support clean technologies and align with the goals of the Net Zero Industry Act, including reducing strategic dependencies and enhancing the EU's industrial capabilities. Proposals must address manufacturing technologies for at least two strategic net-zero technologies (excluding battery/storage technologies) and demonstrate cross-sectoral impact. Key areas include additive manufacturing, advanced joining and forming technologies, surface processing, and high-precision machining. Emphasis is placed on digital integration, circular manufacturing approaches, and environmental sustainability, including CO2 reduction and low energy consumption. Projects must align with TRL 6-7 targets and incorporate business cases with exploitation strategies, prioritizing EU-based manufacturing.
Opening: 22 May 2025
Deadline(s): 23 Sep 2025
Expected Outcome
- Enhanced EU capabilities in net-zero product manufacturing.
- Increased production capacity for clean technologies.
- Contributions to strategic autonomy and sustainability under the Net Zero Industry Act.
Scope
The call focuses on advanced manufacturing processes for products, components, and equipment supporting the net-zero industry. It emphasizes new product features, productivity improvements, waste reduction, and integration of digital and circular manufacturing approaches.
