Today at the @EU_CoR, the Knowledge Exchange Platform seminar "From Innovation Act to Regional Imp(Act)" looked at what the new European Innovation Act means on the ground. Launch markets, procurement, connected ecosystems.

🔬 Research strength alone does not translate into growth.

The 2026 SRIP report is out! It shows what else is needed:

✅Knowledge circulation
✅Public funding leveraging private investment
✅Regional capabilities mobilisation
✅Research reaching users

[EU Science & Innovation 🇪🇺 @EUScienceInnov]

The @HorizonEU Work Programme 2026–2027 was reinforced to:
🔶Protect biodiversity
🔷Strengthen competitiveness & bring products to market

A large part of this additional budget is dedicated to 2 new large-scale calls that will allow R&I to have concrete societal & market impact.

[EU Science & Innovation 🇪🇺 @EUScienceInnov]

@EUeic Is Horizon Europe attractive for newcomers? The answer seems to be YES!

@HorizonEU newcomers:

- Participate mainly in collaborative research & innovation activities
- Receive a higher share of funding in Widening EU countries
- Over 2/3 are companies.

[European Commission @EU_Commission]

Europe continues to attract and invest in top talent in research and innovation.

We are strengthening Horizon Europe for 2026-2027 with an additional €500 million supporting:

🌿biodiversity protection
📈strengthening competitiveness and bringing products to market.

These are priorities that matter for Europeans and can deliver concrete societal and market impact.

How can Europe make better use of its Research Infrastructures? The 4th #ESFRI Stakeholder Forum Meetup in Cork brought stakeholders together to discuss more integrated user access schemes, stronger coordination & resilience of critical research data.

From research to startup and scaleup: that journey is what Europe must accelerate.
Rise Europe and UnternehmerTUM show the value of hands-on support, strong university links and collaboration across the innovation ecosystem.  (1/2)

[Ekaterina Zaharieva @EZaharievaEU]

I strongly condemn Russia’s drone strike on the National Academy of Sciences of Ukraine in Kyiv.
Science is about building the future, not destroying it. Our thoughts are with the victims, their families and the Ukrainian scientific community.
Europe stands with Ukraine!

[Ekaterina Zaharieva @EZaharievaEU]

The biggest challenges we face do not stop at borders.

At today’s ministerial roundtable in Munich, we discussed how stronger cooperation across countries and disciplines can turn Europe’s research strength into solutions for climate, energy and food security. (1/2)

[Ursula von der Leyen @vonderleyen]

Today, science became a target for Russia.

My heart goes out to the heroes searching for people trapped inside Ukraine’s National Academy of Sciences.

As well as to the families and loved ones of the victims of horrific attacks across the country.

We stand with them. And with all Ukrainians.

Europe is working harder than ever to strengthen Ukraine’s defence.

[Ekaterina Zaharieva @EZaharievaEU]

Happy to speak at #BitsAndPretzels today.

My message: Europe has the innovators. Now we need to help more of them become global champions — and scale successfully from Europe. (1/4)
