Europe excels at developing clean energy technologies. The next challenge is making sure they reach the market.
As new clean energy value chains emerge, success depends not only on technological breakthroughs but also on investors, infrastructure, regulation and collaboration across sectors. Supporting projects alone is no longer enough. This is where CETPartnership is evolving its role.
Alongside funding breakthrough technologies and system integration projects, the partnership helps projects prepare for exploitation, follow-on funding and deployment through activities such as exploitation planning, project chaining and investor readiness support.
At the same time, CETPartnership uses its convening power to bring together researchers, industry, funding agencies and policymakers from across Europe. This way, it creates unique insights into common barriers related to financing, regulation, infrastructure and market development.
These insights matter because many clean energy technologies are entering value chains that are still emerging. Markets often need to develop alongside the technologies themselves.
By combining project-level impact support with system-level learning and collaboration, CETPartnership helps strengthen Europe’s innovation ecosystem and accelerate the clean energy transition.
Funding excellent research is not enough to change a complex system. We also need to create the conditions that allow excellent research to become real-world impact.
