EU–India technology cooperation: research, clean technology and digital opportunity watch

Cooperation programme · calls to verify

Source-supported facts

The third EU–India Trade and Technology Council update of 15 July 2026 covers cooperation in digital and clean technologies and the start of formal discussions on India’s association with Horizon Europe.

TLGS assessment

Technology companies should monitor specific research, demonstration, standards and partnership calls. A cooperation announcement becomes commercially actionable only when an eligible programme, counterpart or project is identified.

Practical next steps

• Map capabilities to an actual public programme or partnership call.
• Check eligibility, intellectual-property and co-funding conditions before committing resources.

Status & scope

Horizon association negotiations are not represented as completed eligibility for all Indian applicants.
