New Eureka Network Projects Call

Eureka Circular Value Creation 2025
- A Smart Opportunity for Sustainable Innovators

If your business is developing sustainable solutions or rethinking how products and materials flow through our economy, there is a new funding opportunity that should be on your radar. Eureka’s Circular Value Creation 2025 call is now open—and it is all about turning innovative, circular ideas into international innovation projects with strong market potential.

With a deadline on 30 September 2025, the call brings together funding bodies from 18 countries—Austria, Canada, Chile, Denmark, Estonia, France, Germany, Lithuania, Luxembourg, Portugal, Slovakia, South Korea, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland, Türkiye, and Ukraine to support cross-border R&D projects that push circular thinking beyond recycling and waste management.

One key focus is on value retention: keeping materials, products, and resources in use for as long as possible through smart design, reuse, refurbishment, and digital innovation. There is also a strong emphasis on enabling technologies—whether it’s AI for process optimisation, digital product passports, or smart systems that support reuse and remanufacturing.

This isn’t just about tech

People are a core part of the equation. Eureka encourages applicants to show how their projects support skill-building, interdisciplinary teamwork, and collaboration between industry and research. If your concept combines forward-thinking tech with a human-centred strategy, you're on the right track.

So what does that mean in practice? Eureka is looking for collaborative projects that drive change across entire value chains. From the early stages of design and production, right through to usage, disassembly, and circular business models, successful proposals will take a holistic approach to closing loops and reducing waste.

To be eligible, project consortia must include at least two organisations from two different participating countries. This can include SMEs, large enterprises, research centres, or public organisations. The application process is handled centrally by EUREKA, but each partner is funded through their national funding agency—so in Spain, for example, support is available through CDTI, which offers funding covering up to 85% of eligible costs, including a generous non-repayable component.

Projects can run for up to three years and should aim to deliver commercially viable results within five years. Proposals will be evaluated not only on technical quality and innovation, but also on their potential market impact and alignment with national priorities.

Apply Now - We can handle your application process 

With the circular economy gaining real momentum across Europe and globally, this call could not come at a better time. The transition to more resilient and resource-efficient systems is happening—and funding programmes like this are designed to help companies and research groups take that leap together.

If you are interested in applying, do not wait too long - as mentioned, the deadline is 30 September, and there are several steps involved—from finding partners and developing a strong concept, to actually developing the proposal. 

At Nordic Innovators, we know how to support you in all of that—from shaping ideas and building strong consortia, to writing winning proposals. So if this call sounds like a fit for you, but you are not quite sure where to start, we are here to help.

Moreover, are you looking to go circular and global at the same time? Let us talk about how you can make the most of this Eureka funding opportunity.
