Résumé

The application deadline is 26 October 2026. Consortium participation is required as this is an international cluster funding mechanism.
Analyse d'adéquation
The CELTIC-NEXT EUREKA cluster call targets international collaborative projects in information and communication technologies (ICT), which directly encompasses AI and digital transition — two of Acme Corporation's core domains. As a semiconductor and AI company, Acme is well-positioned to participate, particularly in projects combining AI with connectivity, embedded systems, or next-generation networks. Eligibility requires consortium participation, meaning Acme must identify at least one international partner from another CELTIC-NEXT member country, which is achievable given the broad European coverage of the program. The call is funded through Bpifrance for French participants, and Acme must have or establish a French legal entity or partner to access French national funding. The recommended action is to identify a concrete ICT/AI project concept, map compatible international partners in CELTIC-NEXT member states, and prepare a Letter of Intent well ahead of the October 2026 deadline.
Check the CELTIC-NEXT website (celticnext.eu) for the specific thematic priorities of the current call, partner search tools, and the mandatory project registration process (CELTIC Office submission) that precedes national funding applications to Bpifrance.

MediumPursue — CELTIC-NEXT is a strong fit for Acme's AI and semiconductor R&D profile, offering access to pan-European collaborative funding through Bpifrance, but the October 2026 deadline gives ample time to build a consortium and the main risk is securing the required international partners.
