(23 February 202) – The Commission proposed today to set up 10 new European Partnerships between the European Union, Member States and/or the industry.
The EU will provide nearly €10 billion of funding that the partners will match with at least an equivalent amount of investment.
This combined contribution is expected to mobilise additional investments in support of the transitions, and create long-term positive impacts on employment, the environment and society.
The proposed Institutionalised European Partnerships aim to improve EU preparedness and response to infectious diseases, develop efficient low-carbon aircraft for clean aviation, support the use of renewable biological raw materials in energy production, ensure European leadership in digital technologies and infrastructures, and make rail transport more competitive.
