About this opportunity
The Driving Urban Transitions (DUT) Partnership Funding Call 2026 is an international research and development funding call under Horizon Europe aimed at accelerating the transition towards climate-neutral, resilient, and sustainable cities. The DUT partnership program focuses on three key pillars: enhancing urban mobility, improving energy efficiency, and fostering a circular economy through innovative, sustainable urban solutions. Business Finland participates as a self-financed partner, providing a total pool of EUR 3 million to fund the participation of Finnish companies and research organizations in international consortia. Indicative funding per Finnish sub-consortium ranges between EUR 200,000 and EUR 500,000, awarded as grants under Business Finland's Research and Development or Co-Innovation funding services. Funding supports large-scale cross-border collaboration projects lasting up to 36 months, with the requirement to strengthen companies' competitiveness, renewal, and international export potential.
