Authoritative analyses on public policy, technology regulatory frameworks, and bilateral industrial corridors.
A practical compliance guide for SMEs developing or deploying AI systems, detailing how to utilize regulatory sandboxes (EUSAIR) to minimize costs.
A feasibility analysis exploring how small-to-midsize industrial facilities can group together, build shared networks, and secure co-financing from the Innovation Fund.
A strategic overview of the early drafts and budget priorities for FP10 (the successor to Horizon Europe) and how UK and EU entities can position themselves.
The EU AI Act (2024/1689) entered into force in 2024, introducing strict compliance requirements for AI developers and deployers. For SMEs, the administrative and financial burdens are significant. However, the European Commission has established regulatory sandboxes (such as the EUSAIR initiative) designed to offer SMEs a safe, co-developed space to test applications, drastically reducing compliance costs and removing market entry barriers. Key timelines require immediate risk categorization of existing models to avoid penalties.

Carbon Capture, Utilization, and Storage (CCUS) is vital for industrial decarbonization, particularly for small-to-midsize emitters. However, high individual CAPEX makes isolated projects unviable. Our latest feasibility case demonstrates that by moving from isolated clusters to shared regional 'CCUS Hubs' with joint transport and storage infrastructure, companies can reduce CAPEX and OPEX significantly. To fund the green premium, consortia must target up to 60% co-financing from the Innovation Fund.

As Horizon Europe reaches its final phases, the European Commission is actively designing the 10th Framework Programme (FP10), expected to allocate substantial capital toward technological sovereignty, green transition, and collaborative security. Early policy papers indicate a strict focus on industrial readiness and readiness metrics (TRL 5-9). To secure early positioning, research institutions and large corporates must actively contribute to European Technology Platforms (ETPs) and align their internal R&D roadmaps with these shifting EU priorities.
