This support from the EU Innovation Fund testifies to the strength of our engineering teams, the maturity of our technologies and advanced partnerships that span the value chain. With our robust project pipeline, we are the partner of choice to put clean technologies to work for a net-zero future."
The EU Innovation Fund is one of the world's largest funding programs for innovative technologies. This year, the Fund selected 85 large-scale clean-tech projects out of 337 submitted to receive grants totalling €4.8 billion, including three projects in Holcim's sector.
