The LIFE Programme funds projects with environmental impact in areas such as nature protection, circular economy, zero pollution, climate action and the transition to clean energy.
For startups and SMEs, this funding line may be particularly relevant through participation in consortia or projects involving public authorities, technology centres, industrial companies or other organisations seeking to demonstrate solutions related to waste, resource recovery, efficiency, circularity or pollution reduction.
Who it is for
The call is best suited to mature solutions and consortia with the capacity to implement, demonstrate and scale them.
It may be especially relevant for technologies related to recycling, resource recovery and valorisation, new circular business models, waste management, environmental digitalisation or materials recovery.
How to participate
Proposals must be submitted in a single-stage procedure by 22 September 2026 through the Funding & Tenders Portal.
