Looking to decarbonise your industrial process heat through public funding? Join us for a webinar where we explore the pilot heat auction under the EU Innovation Fund. We will go through the key principles and requirements of the programme, as well as the key considerations for exploring various pathways to a successful application.


In December 2025, the European Commission will launch a dedicated auction under the EU Innovation Fund for projects aiming to decarbonise industrial heat. Eligibility criteria differ from the general call of the EU Innovation Fund and are critical to understand when evaluating whether this auction is a fit for your project.


In this webinar, our EU Innovation Fund experts will help you gain insights into the heating auction. Drawing on years of experience supporting project developers in securing EU Innovation Fund grants, they will share key insights and unpack the critical questions you need to address when starting to develop your application.


What can you expect from this webinar?


By joining our webinar, you can expect to:

  • Understand the requirements of the auction – Get a concise overview of which projects are eligible and most relevant for the heat auction.
  • Gain insights on different paths to success – Hear our considerations on how to strike the right balance between grant ask and a competitive bid price, while effectively substantiating your application with credible evidence.
  • Learn how the heat auction can be the start of a full decarbonisation journey – Get our insights on how to build on learnings gathered from the heat auction to start your wider decarbonisation journey.
