The European Union represents one of the world’s largest international markets, with more than 500 million people generating over €14 trillion in economic activity – approximately 22% of global nominal GDP.

 

How can the Global Alliance Europe team help?

There is an increasing need for UK organisations to be proactive about identifying and connecting with potential European project partners. The network of National Contact Points (NCPs) is the main structure to provide guidance, practical information and assistance on all aspects of participation in European Framework Programmes including Horizon Europe (and its predecessor Horizon 2020). Use this link to find the relevant UK National Contact Point.

In partnership with NCPs and Innovate UK EDGE (which operated as Enterprise Europe Network (EEN) until 2020), Innovate UK KTN helps UK businesses to access European programmes such as Horizon Europe and informs funding priorities to match UK business need. This increases the rate of delivery of new or improved products, processes or services for economic, environmental and societal benefit.

You can get help from Global Alliance Europe to:

  • Find funding opportunities
  • Form partnerships
  • Develop your project proposals

Global Alliance Europe also highlights Financial Support for Third Parties (FSTP) or Cascade Funding. The main objective of this financing method is to simplify administrative procedures with SMEs, thus allowing some projects financed by the EU to issue, in turn, open calls to obtain more funding. You can find all of the current open calls here.

Follow @KTN_Global on Twitter for updates from the Global Alliance Europe team, including news on EU funding and other international opportunities.

 

Horizon Europe

Horizon Europe is an opportunity for all types of UK organisations (including businesses and academia) to get funding for research and innovation. For UK businesses this is an opportunity to collaborate with partners with the right expertise to expand markets and accelerate innovation across Europe and internationally. We are a candidate associated country to Horizon Europe. This means you can continue to apply for Horizon Europe calls as if the UK is already associated to the programme, if you approach your grant agreement deadline date and the UK has not yet associated, please see the support available from the UK government.

Find out more in our Horizon Europe Hub.
