About The event

At the initiative of the national innovation agency, Luxinnovation, and for the very first time in Luxembourg, an information event is being organised to present in detail the funding opportunities available through the European Union Innovation Fund for Luxembourg companies. 

Launched in 2020, with a total estimated budget of €40 billion, this programme aims to decarbonise European industry by financing innovative projects that demonstrate a significant reduction in greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions. Funding is generated through the EU’s Emissions Trading System (ETS). 

This Innovation Fund focuses on energy-intensive industries; renewable energies; energy storage; carbon capture, utilisation and storage; mobility and net-zero emission buildings. 

It finances major projects (minimum €2.5 million in CAPEX) that deploy or scale up innovative technologies to significantly reduce GHG emissions. 

During the information event, participants will be able to better understand who the fund is intended for and what type of projects it supports through presentations, round tables and sharing of experience. 

Representatives of the European Commission, European Investment Bank, national institutional stakeholders and corporate partners will answer questions and share their expertise.

As the national contact point for this programme, Luxinnovation provides support and follow-up to any entity interested in applying for funding through the EU Innovation Fund.
