Bridging the gap between industry, research and innovation
WindEurope actively works to make EU funding and financing instruments more accessible for the wind energy sector.
We guide you through the funding landscape to find the ideal instruments for your projects. And we provide practical information for successful funding applications.
We also shape Europe’s Research & Innovation policies to ensure the funding tools better align with the R&I priorities of the sector. For more information on those priorities check etipwind.eu.
WindEurope members get all the latest intelligence on Europe’s funding programs and financial instruments. As a member, you can access our updates and our webinars on the most relevant EU programmes. And you can subscribe to our EU funding opportunities newsletter to stay ahead of the curve. Find the links in our members’ area.
Lastly, the WindEurope membership network will enable you to find the right partners for your project and make the necessary connections.
