Get Ready for EU Funding: How SMEs Can Prepare Now for Upcoming Horizon Europe Opportunities

2025.05.14. – 4 min read

Even though not all of the Horizon Europe calls have been officially published yet, there’s still a lot that forward-thinking companies can do right now to increase their chances of success. 

At Innomine DIH, we’ve supported dozens of innovators in preparing for complex EU funding schemes — and we know that early preparation is often what separates winners from the rest. 

Why Preparation Matters 

Most European funding calls, especially under Horizon Europe, are competitive and consortium-based. That means your proposal needs to be strategically aligned, well-scoped, and built on strong partnerships. Waiting until the call is published can leave you scrambling for partners and ideas. Starting now gives you the time to: 

  • Identify your innovation strengths and funding fit, 
  • Build a compelling project concept, 
  • Assemble a trusted consortium, 
  • Align with European priorities (e.g. Green Deal, digital transition, resilience, net-zero goals). 

What You Can Do Today 

Here are 5 concrete steps your company can take now — and how Innomine DIH can help: 

1. Assess your innovation maturity 

Are you ready for an EU project, or do you need a smaller pilot first?

We offer innovation audits to guide this decision. 

2. Build your project concept 

What challenge are you solving? For whom? What makes it novel or impactful?

We help you shape ideas into fundable project narratives. 

3. Find the right partners 

You’ll need tech providers, end-users, research partners, and sometimes municipalities.

We connect you to our European network of DIHs, clusters, and universities. 

4. Understand upcoming topics 

Even if all of the exact topics aren’t out yet, past work programmes and strategic plans point to what’s coming (e.g. AI, green manufacturing, data ecosystems, cybersecurity).

We monitor EU trends and share early intelligence with our clients. 

5. Prepare your documents early 

From CVs to company descriptions and capability statements.

Our team helps you draft reusable templates that save time later. 

What to Expect in the 2025 Horizon Europe Calls 

While some of the exact calls are still under finalization, the strategic priorities for 2025–2027 are already clear: 

  • Accelerating the twin green and digital transition, especially in energy-intensive industries
  • Supporting SME digitalisation and resilience
  • Boosting AI uptake and trustworthy data use
  • Strengthening European industrial value chains 

Let Innomine DIH Be Your Strategic Partner!

We offer:

• A customized funding map service to match your needs with upcoming calls,
• Proposal writing, partner search, and innovation strategy support. 

Want to be ready the moment the call opens?

Public funding awareness
The ultimate goal of the ProAgro project was to support the digital transformation of the agri-food industry, in which Innomine made agri-food businesses more competitive within our region by providing services and accelerating the development and deployment of digital innovations.
The project aimed to introduce and demonstrate agri-food companies' opportunities for EU fundings through advice and digital maturity assessment, evaluation of the analysis, the development of a personalized action plan and the collection of national and international good practices. 
Two things are essential for successfully help agri-food businesses in Hungary with EU funding: 1. knowing the partners, 2. being aware of financial sources. Therefore, our approach was:

I. Supporting agri-food SMEs and start-ups:
  • Consultancy and assessment of digital maturity, needs of farmers and agri-food SMEs 
  • Analysis of the surveys, assessments and interviews, collection of good practices at national and international level and creation of a customized needs action plan based in terms of the farmer’s and SMEs current digital maturity and operational efficiency. 

II. Access to finance
  • Identification and connection to suitable funding sources by creating a map of the available national and international funding possibilities.
III. Online or onsite consultations on the suitable and available national and private funding opportunities identified
More about the project
By profiling the partners using the agricultural and food digital transformation tool developed in the ProAgro project we got a good idea of the level of maturity of the partners, not only in terms of digitization but also in terms of application capabilities. The survey showed the companies project ideas and their capabilities of implementation. We became aware of the level of the company in the requirements for international applications (eg minimum English language skills). Our already established network and the conducted agri- and food digital maturity tool and methodology allowed us to identify digitalization related project ideas and to create a pool of partners able to apply for EC calls or other international fundings.

As a results, in the 1 year project period we were able to bring in 3 partners into a Horizon Europe call, selected, validated and submitted 7 proposals to different cascade funding calls (Demeter, BOWI, Digitbrain).

Our results show that knowing our partners in term of digital and innovation maturity is very important. By using the ProAgro agri-food digital transformation tool and methodology, we can not only suggest steps to improve digitization, but also identify needs that can be turned into project plans that can be a good topic for EU cascade funding. Innomine DIH continues to help national and international agri-food businesses to address their challenges in a business-centric and service-oriented way, and making available to any business to access the latest knowledge, expertise and technology.

More about the project

Partners:

The ultimate goal of the ProAgro project was to support the digital transformation of the agri-food industry, in which Innomine made agri-food businesses more competitive within our region by providing services and accelerating the development and deployment of digital innovations.
The project aimed to introduce and demonstrate agri-food companies' opportunities for EU fundings through advice and digital maturity assessment, evaluation of the analysis, the development of a personalized action plan and the collection of national and international good practices. 
Two things are essential for successfully help agri-food businesses in Hungary with EU funding: 1. knowing the partners, 2. being aware of financial sources. Therefore, our approach was:

I. Supporting agri-food SMEs and start-ups:
  • Consultancy and assessment of digital maturity, needs of farmers and agri-food SMEs 
  • Analysis of the surveys, assessments and interviews, collection of good practices at national and international level and creation of a customized needs action plan based in terms of the farmer’s and SMEs current digital maturity and operational efficiency. 

II. Access to finance
  • Identification and connection to suitable funding sources by creating a map of the available national and international funding possibilities.
III. Online or onsite consultations on the suitable and available national and private funding opportunities identified
By profiling the partners using the agricultural and food digital transformation tool developed in the ProAgro project we got a good idea of the level of maturity of the partners, not only in terms of digitization but also in terms of application capabilities. The survey showed the companies project ideas and their capabilities of implementation. We became aware of the level of the company in the requirements for international applications (eg minimum English language skills). Our already established network and the conducted agri- and food digital maturity tool and methodology allowed us to identify digitalization related project ideas and to create a pool of partners able to apply for EC calls or other international fundings.

As a results, in the 1 year project period we were able to bring in 3 partners into a Horizon Europe call, selected, validated and submitted 7 proposals to different cascade funding calls (Demeter, BOWI, Digitbrain).

KONETIK: Fleet electrification with an ML-based charging plan EN-CO Software Zrt: Development of a fully-fledged, automated bin-picking solution During the 10 months innomine continuously monitored the progress of the projects, if a problem occurred, supported the SME in the solution, connected the companies with the BOWI consortium, helped to communicate with them. We also supported the preparation of the reports and documents that the 4 companies were required to prepare, checked them before submission and advised on modifications where necessary.

Outcome:
All 4 projects were completed successfully and on time, all were accepted by the BOWI consortium without exception. Thanks to the digital solutions implemented or improved, all 4 companies have since been able to operate more efficiently, and their names have been recognised internationally thanks to the project.
