Cotec PIA 2026 Open Innovation Call

The Cotec Foundation for Innovation launches the PIA 2026 Open Innovation Projects Call, open to individuals, universities, companies, associations and public or private entities with projects addressing the role of industry in competitiveness, strategic autonomy, sustainability and European defence and security. Proposals are accepted across multiple formats and disciplines, with the only requirement being that they are grounded in knowledge. Selected projects receive up to 40,000 euros and are developed jointly with the Cotec team through a formal contract. This edition includes a special line in collaboration with CDTI for research on business innovation in Spain.
