Accelerating the transformation of our Flemish industry towards climate neutrality
Climate change is a hard problem for all of us and we must tackle it together by drastically cutting greenhouse gas emissions. The Flanders Industry Innovation Moonshot unites industries, citizens, and governments to drive change. Flemish research institutes that develop breakthrough technologies to create climate-friendly processes and products are supported by the Moonshot program. These technological innovations serve the wider purpose of systemic transformation of our industries. Bold innovations will help Flemish industries go carbon circular and CO2-neutral.
Four research paths
To achieve the Moonshot ambition, industry-driven innovative research is pursued in four Moonshot Research Paths. These thematic paths reflect the selected transition paths towards a climate-friendly industry.
Moonshot Flanders - key figures
Moonshot Flanders is driving the transition to a carbon-neutral industry in our region. With over €137 million in funding, we have launched 69 breakthrough projects involving 243 companies. From early-stage research to 30 patent applications and hundreds of publications, we are preparing ambitious scientific innovation for real-world industrial impact.
