Digitalisation and technological progress are shaping all areas of the economy and society and influencing industrial development – including space research. Horizon Europe’s Cluster 4 “Digital, Industry and Space” supports key digital and industrial technologies and space technologies that are strategically important for Europe’s industrial future. The aim is to build a resilient, green and digital Europe.
Annual calls for proposals with specified topics are grouped into six areas as part of strategic planning and according to their expected impact:
- Climate-neutral, circular, digitalised production;
- A digitalised, resource-efficient and resilient industry;
- The development of world-leading data and computer technologies;
- the development of digital and new technologies to ensure competitiveness in the Green Deal;
- strategic autonomy in the development, provision and application of global space-based infrastructures, services and data;
- the people-oriented, ethical development of digital and industrial technologies.
Cluster 4 focuses on the development of core technologies to address challenges in various industrial sectors such as health, transport, energy, culture, food and agriculture.
