THE HORIZON European Union Funding is for every legal entity
EU Horizon Europe
The world's most powerful research and innovation programme, de-risking the next generation of industrial breakthroughs.
Omani Gateway to Horizon Europe
Horizon Europe is a global engine for scientific and industrial transformation. At omanmbd.com, we serve as your strategic platform, helping Omani companies, startups, and research institutions navigate the complexities of European subsidies.
Our mission is to bridge the gap between Omani talent and European expertise, ensuring that the Sultanate is a primary partner in the global transition to a green and digital economy. The programme facilitates collaboration, strengthens the impact of research, and optimizes investment outcomes within a strengthened European Research Area.
Who Can Participate?
Legal Entities: Entities from EU Member States and Associated Countries can apply directly.
Omani Companies: Omani companies can partner directly with European companies to secure funding. This co-development model enables Omani institutions to participate in global research consortia, facilitating high-value technology transfer.
The Three Pillars of Horizon Europe
Horizon Europe organizes its massive budget across three core themes, targeting frontier science, global challenges, and commercial scaling.
Excellent Science
Strengthening the EU's scientific base and dispersing excellent knowledge. Supported by the European Research Council (ERC), this pillar funds frontier research conducted by the best researchers across Europe.
Global Challenges
Boosting industrial competitiveness and solving global issues. Funding is organized into thematic "Clusters" (Health, Digital, Space, Climate, Energy, and Food) to support policy implementation.
Innovative Europe
Focusing on market-creating innovation. Spearheaded by the European Innovation Council (EIC), this pillar de-risks deep technology and bridges the gap between lab research and market success.
The EIC Venture Shift
The European Innovation Council (EIC) marks a strategic shift from traditional, non-repayable subsidies to a venture-capital-style model designed for high-risk, high-impact startups.
Strategic Impact Areas
Horizon Europe invests with strong policy objectives, legally earmarking specific budget allocations for environmental and digital transformation:
