Cascade Funding Hub Invites AI-Based Proposals for Sustainability

Secure funding to develop AI applications that address sustainability challenges before the 2025 deadline.

The Cascade Funding Hub is calling for proposals from SMEs and startups to participate in funding opportunities focusing on Artificial Intelligence and Big Data applications that tackle sustainability issues. Interested parties have until April 30, 2025, to submit their proposals.

Among the highlighted initiatives is the PQ-REACT program, which aims to support consortia in implementing post-quantum cryptography solutions across strategic use cases. This initiative not only seeks project proposals but also calls for expert evaluators to oversee the implementation of Quantum Resistant Crypto solutions.

The Hub offers various open calls under different categories, including calls for proposals, evaluators, and mentors. These categories are tailored to address a range of domains such as Advanced Manufacturing, Energy and Environment, and Digital Society, offering funding opportunities to diverse beneficiaries ranging from SMEs to public authorities.
