You are invited to join the Convert2Green community on 25 February 2026 at 16:00 at the LOPEC Trade Fair (booth F0.12) to celebrate the successful conclusion of the EU-funded Convert2Green project. Over three years, Convert2Green has established a recognised innovation network supporting the market uptake of circular and sustainable materials. The farewell event offers the opportunity to exchange with experts, gain practical insights for your green transition, and learn how to create profitable circular solutions — in a relaxed setting with snacks and free drinks. While the funded phase ends, the Convert2Green Innovation Network continues through KETMarket as its single entry point.

The European Commission has officially published the Horizon Europe Work Programmes 2026–27, together with new calls under the European Defence Fund (EDF) and the Circular Bio-based Europe Joint Undertaking (CBE-JU). These publications define the key EU research, innovation, and industrial priorities for the coming years. All newly released calls have now been fully integrated into the KETMarket platform. Users can access the complete and up-to-date set of EU funding opportunities in one place — structured, searchable, and aligned with official work programmes. The update includes Horizon Europe’s final calls across thematic clusters, EDF research and development actions covering defence capability areas, and CBE-JU calls supporting circular bio-based innovation and industrial deployment. Whether you are refining a project concept or exploring where your expertise fits best, KETMarket helps you quickly identify relevant calls and assess their strategic fit.

How can electronic and sensor functions be integrated directly into polymer materials without increasing system complexity? This free online webinar, organised by KETMarket in collaboration with Fraunhofer IAP, explores how polymers can act as active system components by embedding electrical, optical, mechanical and thermal functions at the material level. The session provides a practical overview from material design to application-ready components, covering topics such as polymer-integrated electronics, energy storage and conversion, electroactive polymers, and shape memory materials with 4D printing. Join leading experts to learn how functional polymers enable scalable, real-world solutions for industry.

2025 marked the most successful year in KETMarket’s history. As the world’s largest Digital Innovation Marketplace, KETMarket expanded its database to more than 6,500 datasets, covering technologies ready for commercialization, innovation services, funding opportunities, and essential project knowledge. A key milestone was the integration of over 3,000 executive summaries from German publicly funded R&D projects, focused on results and collaboration potential. KETMarket further strengthened its role in funding intelligence by providing structured, searchable access to more than 1,000 European funding opportunities. Through a combination of digital tools, personal expertise, and secure AI-supported services, KETMarket continued to foster European innovation collaboration across more than 20 countries.

Artificial Intelligence is reshaping Europe’s innovation landscape, and KETMarket provides direct access to the projects, technologies, and funding behind this transformation. The KETMarket KnowledgeBase highlights AI applications already in practice, from autonomous systems and industrial optimisation to transparent, reproducible research workflows. At the same time, the Marketplace connects these insights to market-ready solutions, including AI-driven material design, computer vision for manufacturing, and defect detection technologies. Users can also explore targeted national and European funding opportunities aligned with AI development. By bringing research results, innovation assets, and funding instruments together, KETMarket supports faster collaboration, informed decisions, and effective AI-driven R&D across Europe.
