Hard rules - do not miss
- Eligible geography: EU Member States, Iceland, Norway and Liechtenstein only — Tunisia is excluded
- Project must be sufficiently mature in planning, business model and financial/legal structure
- 2025 call is closed — next cycle expected H2 2026 at earliest
Bottom line
Not suitable for AOR Green in current configuration. Monitor for 2026/2027 future calls once Spanish entity is operational and a mature EU-facing deployment project exists.

Agent advice
The call closed 18 days ago. Do not allocate preparation resources here now. The value of tracking this instrument is understanding what the Commission considers a mature net-zero deployment project — use it to calibrate AOR Green's long-term development trajectory.
The 2026 Innovation Fund call is likely to be announced in H2 2026. Monitor CINEA and set a review for when the Spanish entity is operational and a viable EU-side project can be scoped.
