Spain is a clear leader in research and innovation supporting the EU’s green and digital transitions, securing more than 17% of the funding available in Horizon Europe.
Since 2021, Horizon Europe has invested €1.44 billion in 186 projects related to these green and digital transitions, involving more than 3,000 organisations. These numbers are expected to grow in the coming months as the European Commission evaluates the 2025 batch of “twin transition” projects.
Spain’s share of this funding includes €253 million across 542 participations in 147 projects. This accounts for almost a fifth of the entire funding pot, surpassing its overall performance across the entirety of Horizon Europe. In the broader Horizon Europe programme, Spain ranks third in terms of funding, securing 10% of the total, and third in participations, with 11% of the total.
Notably, Spain’s performance in the green and digital transitions programme is significantly stronger than its overall performance in Horizon Europe, highlighting the country’s commitment and leadership in these critical areas.
