Description

Confindustria Lombardia, as part of its Enterprise Europe Network activities, announces that the National Info Day on the Innovation Fund will take place on 29 January 2026 from 09:00.
Organised by the Ministry of Environment and Energy Security and Confindustria, the event focuses on new funding opportunities to support the decarbonisation of production systems.

The event will provide an opportunity to present the details of the new Innovation Fund – IF-Net Zero Technologies call, launched on 4 December 2025, with a total budget of €2.9 billion from EU-ETS revenues, alongside the IF25 Hydrogen Auction (€1.3 billion) and the new pilot IF25 Heat Auction (€1 billion), dedicated to the decarbonisation of industrial process heat.

During the proceedings, European and national experts will outline eligibility requirements, selection criteria, and key updates to the calls, providing practical guidance for preparing effective and competitive project proposals.

In the afternoon, companies that have already developed a project proposal may participate in guidance sessions with experts from CINEA and DG CLIMA, facilitating direct discussion and networking among participants.
