We are off to an energetic start for the new year, with some exciting personnel news to share. We are happy to announce promotions in our organisation and give warm welcome to our new colleagues in the Health teams and in the ICT & Electronics team.
The Circular Bio-based Europe Joint Undertaking (CBE JU) has announced its 2026 call for project proposals, offering a significant opportunity for innovative organisations in the bioeconomy sector. The call opens for submissions on 23 April 2026 and will close on 22 September 2026. With a substantial budget of €170.7 million, the call aims to support ambitious projects that foster sustainability and competitiveness in bio-based industries. Spinverse experts in bioeconomy are here to help if you need support with your project proposal.
Many of the components used in defence applications originate from outside Europe today. This dependence on external component suppliers is not really acceptable for the European defense industry, where critical components could be withheld or delayed for strategic reasons by foreign governments. In an attempt to provide an alternative solution for Europe, in the development of advanced RF CMOS based Systems on a Chip, the e-Perfect project has been funded. This funding has been provided in response to a call from the European Defence Fund for the creation of an ITAR free supply and value chains for advanced, radiation hard, fine geometry, RF CMOS Technologies within Europe. This technology capability will be used for the creation of Advanced Systems on a Chip (SoC) for space and defence applications.
Cancer Mission is a key initiative under the European Union’s Horizon Europe research and innovation programme. Its main objective is to improve the lives of millions by advancing cancer prevention, diagnosis, treatment and quality of life for patients and their families. The calls are now open, and Spinverse health domain experts are ready to evaluate your eligibility for the programme.
The EU Innovation Fund offers EUR 2.9 billion in financial support to companies investing in innovative solutions to decarbonise EU’s energy and industry. The new call texts (IF25) were published on the 4th of December 2025 with topics for different CAPEX scales, clean-tech manufacturing and pilots. With a strong track record of successful projects with our customers, we are again looking forward to providing our expertise to the project development and proposal preparation process – whether a new project or a resubmission.
New technologies are transforming how we live, work and do business. Startups and small companies with big ideas especially in deep tech fields such as AI, advanced materials and clean energy are leading this transformation. However, turning breakthrough ideas into market-ready solutions is challenging and requires significant funding and support. That is where European Innovation Council Accelerator (EICA) comes in and Spinverse is happy to support if you decide to apply for funding through this instrument.
We are happy to introduce our new colleagues in the energy, industrial investments, bioeconomy and health teams, based in Espoo or Gothenburg. Katarina Frotjold, Jami Kuusisto, Paula Sarsama, Anna Olsson Fladby and Tetyana Chumak will bring onboard a vast amount of expertise! Read on to learn more about them.
Securing an invitation to the Grant Agreement Preparation (GAP) phase for an EU-funded project is a significant achievement, reflecting a proposal’s excellence in a highly competitive field. Entering the GAP phase marks the beginning of a detailed and time-sensitive process that must be completed before project activities can truly start. Spinverse’s Innovation Project Services are designed to guide organisations through every step from GAP to project execution, ensuring a smooth journey and maximising the project’s impact.
The four-year SUSPENSE project, coordinated by CHIMAR HELLAS S.A. from Greece, has secured EUR 7.48 million from Circular Bio-based Europe (CBE). SUSPENSE aims to develop innovative, sustainable bio-based adhesives targeted at replacing conventional fossil-based adhesives used in wood-based panels and insulation materials. Spinverse supported the SUSPENSE consortium in their successful project proposal process and will continue to work with the consortium as it prepares to kick off the project in October 2025.
The results of the latest Innovation Fund call (IF24) were published in November, and we want to warmly congratulate our clients we supported and who have been invited to start grant agreement preparations with the European Climate, Infrastructure and Environment Executive Agency (CINEA). Due to high competition and less funding awarded this year, many excellent proposals did not secure funding this time. This is the perfect time to take the steps for the next Innovation Fund call (IF25 - submission deadline in 2026), be it a resubmission or a brand new project proposal. We can support with both. It is also possible to apply for financial support for the project design costs via national agencies at least in Norway, Denmark and Finland.
