The 2027 calls of Horizon Europe Cluster 4 “Digital, Industry and Space” are rolling out.

The industry call HORIZON-CL4-2027-01 (€224.7 million, 11 topics), the two-stage CL4-2027-02 and the RAISE call opened on 13 October with a first deadline of 2 February 2027.

The digital call HORIZON-CL4-2027-04, including topics on federated and sustainable AI data processing, opens on 17 November with a deadline of 18 March 2027. A €125 million Clean Industrial Deal call follows on 12 January 2027.

Why it matters

Cluster 4 is the main Horizon Europe entry point for industrial and digital companies. The topics on federated and sustainable AI data processing are directly relevant for organisations working on data spaces and sovereign AI. Two-stage calls lower the entry cost: a short first-stage proposal is enough to test the idea.
