EU Industry Days 2025: Discover six projects managed by HaDEA

The EU Industry Days 2025, Europe’s flagship annual event focusing on key industrial policy discussions, are set to take place on 5 and 6 June in Rzeszów, Poland. This annual event has become a key moment for industry experts, policymakers, and innovators across Europe to converge, share insights, and drive forward the agenda for a sustainable and competitive European industry.

The EU Industry Days 2025 will focus on competitiveness and decarbonisation of the EU industry, increasing security and reducing dependencies as well as emphasizing the need for an innovative industry. The event will provide a comprehensive program that includes plenary and parallel sessions, an exhibition space and a meet-the-experts corner.

Exhibition spotlight: Six innovative EU-funded projects

Within the exhibition space, six EU-funded projects managed by HaDEA will be featured, each bringing unique contributions to industry innovation:

Carbo4Power develops a new generation of lightweight, high strength, multifunctional, digitalised multi-materials for offshore wind and tidal turbine rotor blades that will increase their operational performance and durability while reducing the cost of energy production, maintenance and their environmental impact. The innovative concept is based on nano-engineered hybrid (multi)materials and their intelligent architectures.

EuReComp is focused on circularity and is set out to provide sustainable methods towards recycling and reuse of composite materials, coming from components used in various industries, such as aeronautics and wind energy. The main pathways that EuReComp proposes to achieve circularity will include repairing, repurposing and redesigning parts from end-of-life large scale products and recycling and reclamation of the materials used in such parts; thus, accomplishing reduction of waste and transformation to high-added value products.

REPurpose seeks to create infinitely recyclable and multifunctional materials, based on local post-consumer plastic waste and integrated with biocarbon to optimise properties for a broad spectrum of applications. Advanced polymer backbone design gives the targeted polymers unique characteristics of biodegradability and infinite recyclability through enzymatic recycling.

Platform-ZERO is developing a new industrial process-monitoring platform for third-generation photovoltaics (PV) using AI to revolutionise the production process and reduce defects and costs. To achieve its goals, the project will develop novel sensors and methods for in-line industrial inspection that will improve the quality of third-generation PV and reduce its environmental impact by minimising the waste of energy and valuable materials during production.

BIO-SUSHY aims to develop high-quality, durable, and sustainable coatings as alternatives to polluting polyfluorinated alkyl substances (PFAS). These coatings leverage bio-based thermoplastic powders and hybrid sol-gel technologies, adhering to the Safe and Sustainable by Design (SSbD) framework. Applications span textiles, food packaging, and glass cosmetic packaging.

GoldenRAM aims to facilitate the easy exchange of accurate information on Raw Materials within the European Union and with partnering resource-rich countries. In particular, the project is developing an Earth Observation Platform called G-RAM. This platform will utilize novel Artificial Intelligence Natural Language processing combined with advanced, proprietary Artificial Intelligence Knowledge Packs (AIKPs). 
 

Background

The above featured projects are funded under Horizon Europe, a research and innovation programme lasting until 2027. The programme facilitates collaboration and strengthens the impact of research and innovation in developing EU policies while tackling global challenges.
