Veolia Italia, together with Circular Economy Lab, has launched a new edition of Research Gateway, a programme aimed at research projects and technologies with strong potential for industrial application.
The initiative will select 10 projects to join an acceleration programme and explore proof-of-concept and pilot opportunities within Veolia’s industrial ecosystem, with access to experts, partners and investors.
The call is looking for solutions in areas such as:
- energy efficiency and optimisation;
- artificial intelligence applied to energy management;
- IoT and predictive maintenance;
- electrical and thermal energy storage;
- smart building automation and control;
- microgrids and energy resilience;
- monitoring and improvement of indoor environmental conditions.
The programme is primarily aimed at researchers, universities and Italian research centres developing technologies, prototypes or solutions with potential for market transfer.
In addition to the acceleration support, selected projects will have the opportunity to work with Veolia to assess real-world applications for their technologies and take part in a final Demo Day planned in Paris in May 2027.
The call provides an interesting route to validate technologies in industrial environments and build collaborations with a major company in the environmental and energy sectors.
Deadline: 4 December 2026
