EIT Climate KIC - the largest beneficiary of HE Missions funding

The European Institute of Innovation and Technology (EIT) has reported that its EIT Climate KIC has emerged as the top beneficiary of Horizon Europe Missions funding, securing nearly €100 million to advance its climate innovation agenda (see also a corresponding article by Science|Business). According to the EIT, Climate KIC has secured €99 million across 19 Mission projects – far more than any other grantee of the scheme’s €2.24 billion grant portfolio, which spans 295 projects.

The € 99 million from Horizon Missions represents a significant amount for the network, which received € 720 million in EIT funding between 2010 and 2024. Much of this funding comes from large-scale projects designed to build critical mass around the Missions. One flagship example is the €53 million NetZeroCities project, which is developing a support platform for the Climate-Neutral and Smart Cities Mission. As coordinator, EIT Climate receives €36 million from the project.
