The application window opened on 16 June and closes on 11 August 2026. PARP’s official timetable confirms the deadline for both the track supporting innovative critical technologies and the track focused on strategic independence. The programme documentation refers to areas linked to the production of critical technologies or components of their value chains. PARP’s published materials identify categories such as net-zero technologies, renewable energy, energy efficiency, circular-economy solutions, advanced materials and technologies connected with the recovery or recycling of critical raw materials. Clean-technology investment can support more efficient production, electrification, energy management, low-carbon materials and better use of resources.
