30 innovative projects selected

The consortium received 213 proposals for the first sub call under the guidance of the Project Officer Vladimir Cid-Bourié: a clear success that resonates with the introduction of FSTP scheme under EDF.

30 innovating SMEs have been selected across 14 Member states and Ukraine to perform their projects linked to 5 MaJoR technological topics.

Beyond NLR, the coordinator, LUP, monitoring the cascade funding activities, and Ignity overseeing the evaluation, the domain leads Airbus Defence and Space, Damen and Rheinmetall, many project stakeholders as well as external experts were involved in the preparation and the evaluation of this first call over the last months.  It’s now time for these 30 successful entrepreneurs to start their respective sub projects and to benefit also from the mentoring and coaching to be provided by MaJoR team members.

If you missed this opportunity, the second cascade funding call will be opened early 2027!
