The European Commission launched three new partnerships in advanced materials, textiles, and photovoltaics under Horizon Europe. These partnerships aimed to support EU research and innovation. The photovoltaics partnership planned to boost solar manufacturing in Europe, make the supply chain more resilient, and cut fossil fuel use. The Commission and private partners planned to invest up to €240 million each from 2025 to 2030. Funding calls will begin in the 2025 Horizon Europe Work Programme. A fourth partnership on Virtual Worlds is planned for later in 2025. These new efforts build on earlier partnerships from the 2021–2024 Horizon Europe plan.
