IDConsortium wishes you a very Merry Christmas and a 2026 full of health, projects and opportunities!

In 2025, we celebrated the approval of several European projects, including two especially noteworthy initiatives. FARM360TECH, focused on the digitalisation and sustainability of the agricultural sector through large-scale demonstrators and Living Labs; and GATE5.0, designed to strengthen the competitiveness and growth of agrifood SMEs through direct funding, business acceleration, and access to international markets. Altogether, the projects secured this year amount to more than €10 million in European funding for our clients, a milestone that reflects the quality, rigor, and ambition that define the proposals we develop together.

Beyond these successes, we have worked on a diverse set of new proposals addressing some of Europe’s major challenges for the coming decade: fostering generational renewal in agriculture, improving the health and productivity of agricultural and forest soils, digitalising agrifood value chains, developing new protein sources for the European biotechnology industry, transforming urban food systems with special attention to vulnerable groups, modernising critical infrastructures such as European ports, and decarbonising sectors linked to the blue economy. Each proposal has required in-depth research, clear strategy, technical solidity, and a well-structured narrative—demonstrating our way of working: close, rigorous, demanding, and results-oriented.

Looking ahead to 2026, we are already collaborating with many of you on early preparation of concept notes, consortium building, and strategic analysis of upcoming calls under Horizon Europe, I3, LIFE, CBE, Digital Europe, Interregional Innovation Investments (I3) Instrument and other key programmes. It will be a year full of opportunities to advance the green transition, digital transformation, territorial innovation, and the growth of key sectors, and we look forward to supporting you every step of the way.

I would like to wish you all a very Merry Christmas and my warmest wishes for the New Year!

May 2026 bring health, inspiring projects, and new opportunities to continue building a more sustainable, innovative, and competitive Europe together.

Thank you for your trust and for allowing us to accompany you for another year!
