Open call for startups, tech SMEs, and research teams (TRL 4–7) to solve 21 real industrial challenges in agrotech, water, energy, and novel ingredients.

Seeking agrifood SMEs and corporates facing technical or operational challenges to match with European tech startups and co-develop feasibility studies and pilot plans.

TRUNSPORT Open Call 1 funds the testing and validation of cybersecurity solutions that strengthen the resilience of European transport systems. The call supports projects that develop, configure, integrate, test and validate cybersecurity solutions, services, methodologies and training activities for transport systems. Projects should strengthen cyber preparedness and operational resilience, demonstrate measurable improvements against a defined baseline, and show how their results can be integrated into relevant IT and/or OT environments. Validation may take place in operational, simulated, virtualised or cyber-range environments. Proposed activities should contribute to one or more TRUNSPORT Cyber Security Hub modules covering Preparedness Support Services (PSS), Human Shield Strategies (HSS) and Mutual Assistance Support (MAS).

Funding for consortia to transfer and validate the FORTIS human-robot interaction solution in new civilian sectors and application environments. OC#2.2 aims to transfer the FORTIS solution to new civilian sectors. The call itself mentions areas such as agriculture, logistics, healthcare, airports, and forestry, so it could be particularly interesting for companies in the ecosystem that want to validate collaborative robotics in a sector-specific use case, such as agritech, logistics, retail and healthcare.

Funding for multidisciplinary consortia to integrate and pilot FORTIS technologies for advanced human-robot collaboration, digital twins, XR interfaces and robotic localisation. OC#2.1 aims to integrate and deploy technologies from the FORTIS ecosystem across eight technical areas, including human-robot collaboration, intelligent task allocation, digital twins, XR interfaces, HRI monitoring, ergonomics, and multi-sensor localization/mapping. This is a very direct opportunity for companies possessing proprietary technology in robotics, vision/sensing, industrial AI, control software, digital twins, or advanced interfaces.
